Defensive Tactics Club: 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Did some arm bar reps on the grappling dummy. Reviewed some pistol disarms; front, side to the head, rear to the head. Observed a couple of guys doing some sparring with striking only, giving pointers and what not. Some single sick work. Some rolling, working on some positioning stuff. Finished working on some kicking techniques, some Olympic style round kicks, and some 360 round kicks, mainly on the ground, working towards the jump and spin.

TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Basics (changed up with some different combinations for tournament use), forms (Choong Jang...got through it), one-steps - working with an orange belt, and a recommended black belt for testing this week. Sparring, just a few matches. Got some stretching in between basics and forms.

Range Training: 8:00 -11:00 am. Pistol qualification, shot 48/50. After the pistol qualification, we played a little poker, and put together a 3 of a kind as my high hand in the first round, so advanced, but then got beat out by better shooters. We did pistol/shotgun transition work with pepper poppers: first, we would load two shotgun rounds, and 5 in the pistol, and shot the color of the popper announced in order with the shotgun, then transitioned to handgun for the last one. Next, we started with the pistol, then transitioned to shotgun, and then back to hand gun if we ran out of shotgun ammo. We finished with patrol rifle, doing a relay shoot at 100 yards.

TKD Testing: 6:15 - 7:15. Tested 5 kids and one teenager, the teenager testing for 1st dan. The kids did pretty good, and the 1st dan candidate had a really good testing.
