Fight Class: We had a regular Monday night adult fight class. We had about 14 people show up and it was quite awesome. Sensei asked me to lead the class just before it began and I heartily accepted.
We started with some quick static stretches and then some dynamic stuff; butt kickers and frankensteins. Took about 5 minutes. Then did about 7x 1:00 rounds of ‘slap a friend’ shoulder tag for warm up.
Once we warmed up we got into it with about 34 rounds total of1:00 sparring rounds. Everyone was sweaty and worked great.
Good night and I had fun with it.
I had to leave early to run an errand so I missed 2nd class. Bummed about that but couldn’t be helped.

Fight club: Had about 7 students in fight class. Had a brand new to “adult” class going tonight. Pretty cool.
Started off with some standard warmup stuff. Then did the “slap a friend” drill for 7:00.
Got in 3 good rounds of 1:00 fights for about 9 rounds each.
Good night, good sweating and good spirit.

Fighting. Tonights class was sparring. After a few rounds of running laps while carrying a 20# kettle bell we dug into some back to back rounds of free-sparring. Then got into teams and did some team sparring. My side lost and we had to do 30 push ups. But overall it was a fun and laid back night working on fitness generally. Had a lot of fun tonight. I miss these big sparring classes.

Assisted with the youth classes today – all of them 🙂 for Fighting/Sparring.
It was, as it always is, so much fun to work with these guys. Some really can test you.

Regular class fight class. We started off with some stretching for 10 minutes or so. Then running laps, where we ran fast for 45 seconds and then very slow for 1:00, we did that for 3x rounds, then walked 2 laps.
We fought 10-12 rounds of about 1:00 per round. Then did some “no-pad” point sparring. I had 3 fights, one was serious then two for good measure.
It was a good night for this class and had a blast. Especially with my oldest son joining class.
