Defensive Tactics: 1:30 - 3:00 pm. Wrist grab escapes, choke defense review, punch defenses on ground 1-4, Kimura from guard, passing to guard when under side control along with elevator sweep, shrimping defense.

9/18/2013

Taught TKD: 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Basics, added some extra side kick work. I had the students stand in natural ready stance, and a 1/2 count of chambering, and then turning the hip and pivoting the base foot to get the leg into the thrusting position; then I changed the 1/2 count to chamber, then kick with the pivot and rotation; so it was balance and chamber 1st, then pivot/push the next. Got through forms and one-steps, then did some sparring, then had time to do a jump front kick drill that gets the blood pumping.
