Weapons: Today I was to teach class, I did and also took part in stuff to since class was small. I had everyone warm up using a heavy kettle bell. We did walk out pushups; 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 then 3x rounds of 10x KB swings and 5x squats.
Then we drilled 20x each bo strikes and down blocks. Then did Bo 1 & Bo 2. Then we did Tonfa strikes and Tonfa kata, then Sai strikes. All strikes 20x each. My arms are burning… 🙂
Good class.
Weapons: We drilled strikes. Tonfa, we drilled 20x for each type of strike. Then We did Bo 1 and Bo 2 back to back. After that we broke off into smaller groups and my group did Sai 1 over and over. I got in about 6-8 reps on Sai 1.

Weapons: We started off and I lead the class with the classic “Mat Chan” warmup. We then drilled Bo 1, slowly, then did it each on our own with speed and fight twice. We then did Bo 2 the same way. After Bo we split off and worked on Sai Kata for 2-3 sets.
Then we did something crazy. We did Tonfa/Sai Kata. Where we held Tonfa in one hand and Sai in the other and did the Kata but did the appropriate move for the weapon that was held in that particular hand. Then swapped them and did it again. Mind Blown…
