TKD:  5:45 - 6:30 pm.  Rank class.  I taught this one.  Added in a few different basics.  Some of the low ranks really need to work on their side kick technique.  The next time I teach this class, I'm going to change basics up and really hammer side kick technique.

6:30 - 7:00 pm.  Sparring class.  I taught this section as well, but also padded up and joined in with the class.  We did footwork floor drills to warm up, then did restricted live sparring.  The first round was FL round kicks only.  Second round was BL front kicks and FL round kicks only.  For the third round, anything went, but the only technique that counted as a score was a reverse punch.  For the last round, I allowed everyone to find a partner that they hadn't sparred with yet, and I made the taller person spar from their knees (had to be on at least one knee at all times).

I got some comments later in the week from some of the students saying they really enjoyed the class.
