During tonight’s class we’re going to be exploring the “energy” and “feel” of the fight – specifically from the perspective of “fighting like (or ‘in’)” each of the elemental modes that you’re introduced to in the kyu / module levels of training.  This is a HUGE piece that’s missing from a LOT of students’ responses and technique

We’ll be looking at the different categories of “blocking” and attack-receiving that give you more options and begin controlling your assailant from the outset of his attack… all based on this week’s Warrior’s Whiteboard Wednesday session!

During tonight’s class we’re going to take another look at kamae – kind of a “part 2” – to the class I ran two weeks ago for the virtual students (testing got in the way last week).  We’re going to look at the three primary aspects that kamae teach from the 1st level of development

We’ll be looking at how to reverse engineer our locks, holds, and throws in a way that goes beyond mere self-defense to produce intended, strategic outcomes – based on what I covered during this past week’s Whiteboard Wednesday live training!
