Hi Bushido, sorry to be a pain, but could you explain this to me?

I am interested in the setup of stations, rotations and also what is BL/FL? (I assume back leg and front leg, but just wanted to check )

Hi, yamesu. I'll elaborate. You are correct on FL/BL; front leg and back leg. The "station" is what you use for the techniques, like a Powerline bag, or someone holding a kicking shield, or a target pad. Some are interchangeable. But you don't necessarily rotate to a different bag. Also, as you probably noticed in the descriptions, the "stations" are kind of themed, like the one highlighted above, side kicks and spin back kicks. So, if you have a big class, you can pair two kickers to a Powerline and do one station, and have some others on target pads doing those stations, and then switch them up so everyone get to do them all. Hope that helps. I'm considering putting together some different classes, perhaps more target pad themed to switch things up.

DT Club: 2:00 - 3:00 pm. We worked on some headlock defenses, one of which was similar to one I've done with the GRACIE system. The Wrestler I was working with showed me a nice variation, too, where it was more of a drop than step around and sitting to a roll. We would secure the arm, step around in front, and then sit and roll the bad guy over. The other variation was with the bad guy in a wider base, doing more of a sit back and roll them over. The focus was getting rolled over and ending in the top position, for LE focus. Then I did a free roll, getting pretty well smoked by the Wrestler. I don't feel quite as bad about that, now that I see his name up as last year's conference champion.

PT w/Kendall: Push-ups 3x6 for both of us. I helped Kendall with assisted bridges x10. We both did wall walk bridges x10, and bridge push-ups x5. Kendall did a handstand for 1 minute on the wall, and then he did front and back neck bridging to build strength.
