Defensive Tactics Club: 11:30 am - 2:00 pm. Finally, we've started our summer training session. And the collegiate wrestler we have in the club really brought some great training ideas with him, that we will likely use throughout the summer session.

We started with a couple of rounds of mitt work, doing some combinations that included punches and kicks (both low and high), and then did primarily defensive work, with one guy throwing punches and only moving and defending and counter-punching when an opening was available. This was great for moving and defending.

Next, we moved onto some gun retentions we did using different throws and takedowns to control positions. One was a hip toss (Greco-style set-up), and another was securing the gun-grab arm, stepping back with the gun side foot in a circle and blocking the bad guy's closest knee (same as grab side), taking them down from there. A third option we did was stuffing the head in a clinch and then executing a takedown by using their head to shove them into the takedown. From here, we worked a hips-in/hips-out drill, recognizing if the bad guy's hips come in to do the hip throw, and if they are back, do the knee block.

We finished up doing some grappling drills. We did guard passing to mount, then striking on full mount, and then the bottom guy would do the elbow escape and shrimp back to guard. We do around 5 then switch. We finished with a 5-submission drill, where we just took a position and flowed through 5 different submissions (well, I tried to flow, anyways). Great workout overall.

DT Club, Summer Session: 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm. Lots of good work today. Opened up with some light sparring, hands only. After a while of working that, we started working on kicks, so I got out the paddles and worked with the guys. Worked combos with round kicks to spin hook kicks or heel kicks. One of the guys wanted to work with crescent kicks, so we did some basic kicking drills with inside and outside kicks, then to some spinning crescents. After working the kicks on the paddles, we did some more light sparring, working in low and high kicks along with punches. We always allow head punches, which is great for me, since we don't do it in TKD.

6/28/2016

DT Club, Summer Session: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm. Opened with light round of sparring, punches and kicks. After a break, did mitt work, really working on getting my short body inside and using hooks and uppercuts. I'm used to straight punching a lot, so my circular punches get a bit wild, so I worked on wrangling those in. We also did a bit of sparring inside a small circle, so I had to stay close and inside and work from there.

With the holiday coming, it screwed up my schedule, missing a week of training. So, I had to deload a bit. It always seems to happen when I get above that 300# mark on the squats.
