Watched Big Trouble in Little China to get some of our younger students some culture. I am apalled that a 20 year old has never heard of this movie!!!!!

Full day of entries with shields. Again, not alot of crossover to personal defense save the use of corners and weapon handling. But good workout and let's face it...the weapon handling never hurts.
