We started off badly. The class couldn’t get things together inside the 1:00 time limit, so they did 30 burpees. Ugh…
Then we worked on conditioning and some kick drills for 25 minutes.
Then paired up and did some different offensive drills:
Body Punch 2:00
Body Punch 2:00
Side Kick Body Punch 2:00
Side Kick Backfist Body Punch 2:00
Side Kick Backfist Body Punch 2:00
Then split into teams in 2 rings and did point sparring. First to 3. Got in about 12 fights.
**most kids reverted back to their old way of sparring. Standing still, single attacks, very little if any movement at all. When the other kid would actually move they would just quickly destroy the other kid. Had to really coach and drive them to keep moving, then to move laterally into 3′s and 4′s…
Lots of work to do but we’re finally starting to get somewhere I think.

Worked with the 3 Too San kids for Team Dojo practice. Got them all through the Kata 100% and are now fine tuning things.

Thursday night fight class. For some reason we had a super small class only 3 students tonight… 🙁
BUT
We made the most out of it and really worked on some good stuff. They trained hard and did some really great conditioning work, then we fine tuned a bunch of offensive tools for them. These three are truly our elite fighters for team in 2017!

Another super full Tuesday night fight class. I showed up early to get a peek at how Team Dojo kids were doing in their regular fight class. As I suspected about half resorted to the same old same old style or “no style” of fighting. But a couple, man, they made me happy.
Got into fight class and started with an extended warm up workout. Then did footwork drills and shooting and side kick + shooting. Paired them up for a while and then 100 ½ round kicks to finish out the night.
Good sweat tonight.

Good fight class tonight. We worked on a good review of rhythm and shooting the backfist. Talked consistency in our movement and timing our movement. They listened very well tonight.
