In Saturday's 2016.07.16 class we continued on the concepts from the week before. A bit of traditional training the first basic blocks. Plus working on the concept of "one block, one counter". Showed clip of GM Nene demoing his Balintawak Escrima with Guro Keith Davis.
SINGLE STICK
1) Feeder delivers one strike, receiver blocks in medium range, returns one strike. Emphasis on developing control by touching confidently but lightly on the counter strike.
90 second cycles, one side feeds. Goal of 30-40 reps per person. Repeat for angles 1-4.
2) Feeder delivers random strikes, receiver does same thing - single controlled counterstrike to arm or shoulder.
3) Start to build a flow by introducing progressive feeder / receiver win ladder. First cycle - receiver wins with counterstrike. Second cycle - feeder blocks counterstrike and delivers counter. Third cycle - feeder blocks counterstrike and counters. Emphasis on definitive, clear movement, strong block, and control.
4) Sombrada, freelance. After developing concise movement in the earlier progression, sombrada is much cleaner and precise.
5) Added in finding the clockwise and counterclockwise snake out of flow.
