RED BELT FOCUS (Paul, Nick and Ian): The work we did in our group was focussed and continually being refined with the help of Nigel plus video to see ourselves and mistakes in action.
Footwork: male and female triangles both open and closed, the hour glass, the pivot and the L-step.
Kick for kick: working on range, hands and eye focus, pace of response, variety of kick
Energy drills: pak and hit, lap and hit as well as hubud. Working the 'energy' aspect.
BLUE BELT FOCUS - Charlie and James
"Free work' - Adam working with Tom.
Notes kindly provided by Adam:
Footwork:
Box pattern (forward, backward left right) - focus on keeping feet same distance apart, back heel off the ground. Added jab and cross ensuring each punch landed with each step e.g jab when first step landed cross when second step landed.
Later in the session we used this footwork in a lead and follow exercise. Partner A faces partner B and moves in any direction (fwd, bck, L,R) Parnetr B mirrors that so if A moves fwd B moves Bck.
Female and Male triangles – focusing on spring and how you can use front hand or rear hand with each step (e.g jab/cross)
Pivot - making sure you end up balanced at the end of the pivot. If you can throw a solid cross after then your feet are in a good base, if you can’t then adjust your feet.
L step
Jab defences:
Catch jab
Slip and uppercut (in one motion – you may have to slightly adjust your rear foot for balance and to enable your uppercut to “reach”)
Cut punch
Salute – (drive saluting elbow fwd to take jab off the line.. same with cross)
Split entry - into dumog drag, hooks to the ribs and push away
Slip salute and split entry need to utilse slip footwork
Cross defences (same as jab):
Catch parry - don’t over commit parrying hand or you leave centre line open.
Catch, slip –upper cut then any follow up
Catch, Cut punch
Catch, Salute
Catch, split entry
Single stick:
Figure 8 (then inc female and male triangles)
Cinco terros (5 angles)
1) Down down across across stab (for, back, for , back, stab)
2) Down, across, across down stab (for, back, for, back, stab)
3) Down up up down stab (making an X shape - for, back, for, back, stab)
3 count sumbrada – focus on footwork and checking hand and maintaining distance.
For fun: Tom asked to clarity some knife work, so we worked on defanging (cutting) on an 8 count feed, using the monitoring hand to pass (open and closed scissor motion)
We finished with a quick lock flow (first 4) and hubud
