Class with my sons

- Sparring with torso gear on, each boy taking a turn with the instructor and with me, a tap from us to the "V" (Velocity logo) button on the protector being responded with punches and kicks against us

- Sparring with torso gear continued, but with one another, just to punch (really it's a tap when you're seven years old) the "V" logo, but also a kick against the torso gear (also appears to be a tap--the boys have kicked me much harder than I observed with one another)

- Pyung Ahn Cho Dan*

*At home, after McDonald's and homework, redid Pyung Ahn Cho Dan with me in the living room.

tactical consideratin for weapons during hth conflict

SPEAR application across various scenarios

negitives if it breaks down

effecting takedowns if needed

two man takedowns

entry scenarios in armor with everything we worked.

it went well and was well received. we'd have had a home run if one of the guys hadn't been unfortunate enough to get hurt. Knee got twisted after a foot got caught in the matt. It was a bummer.

I've been lucky for so long, my time is coming on that front.
