Self Defense. We drilled 1-5th sets in the air, once no kia and again with kia. Did that a few times through. Then did an ‘open call’ drill, where Sensei had us Charleote and then do whatever he called out in the air, no kia.

He then had the Blackbelts deliver a round kick to the underbelts. They got to choose who kicks. I was picked a couple times, I didn’t kick them too hard, but I did knock the wind out of 3 of the 4 that picked me.

Then we broke off into groups and drilled Dislocated Shoulder over and over. Good class. Really got to work that one a good bit, I was honestly always kind of week in that one.

Then we lined back up and did the underbelt kicks again. No one picked me a 2nd time, but one student did pick me :) The drill was that they got kicked then had to immediately perform the self defense technique they were previously working on.
