10/3/2014

3-in-1 Trial Class: 7:10 - 8:30 pm. I spoke more about this class in the Comparative Styles and Cross Training forum here: http://www.karateforums.com/my-recent-experience-with-a-style-called-3-in-1-martial-arts-vt47386.html

The class opened with some jogging, which I detest, along with some moving in fighting stances and throwing punches. Afterwards, we did a lot of breathing and stretching. The instructor puts lots of emphasis on being flexible. We did some basic kicking, then we did some rolling and breakfall practice. At the end, we did some finger locking and a kote gashi version using the thumb for the most part.

TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Did about half the basics, then went into working on forms review and learning new forms after students got their new belts and certificates from testing. Also did some one-steps review.
