We went through the lock flows for hiji waza - the elbows, and covered a couple of tebuki waza - wrist locks.
We revisited gun defence, and those who weren't here on Wed got to try it.
We did the usual sparring session. Chico and I got the heavy gear on and sparred the FC structure - boxing, KB and Thai.
We got the pads out and did impact boxing work on focus pads and some Thai pad work.
There was stix for those with stix and we were able to demo the krabi 5 step drill, the use of power and pressure and how it relates to unarmed Muay Thai, and how to add the tiip push kick to both the Krabi sword drill and the pad drills.
Those doing boxing were able to practice the driving footwork with jab and cross to get the opponent onto the ropes where you can terminate with hooks and uppercuts.
Thai boxers were able to practice the use of the knee following an entry and pressure phase with tiip and dte.
We demonstrated the four points of power kicking at the end on the Thai pads.
Paul and I demo'd serrada's sombrada drill and how to close from largo to medio range using the #1 strike as the entry point.
Coming up:
Gun:
We will make sure all members are fully familiar with the gun defence and that it is then practiced regularly.
Locks:
We will make sure members all know the hiji 5 sequence and can practice with each other. Also we'll make sure it works on the left.
We'll cover the tebuki sequence and make sure everybody is functional in basic lock flows.
Feng Wei:
We've introduced regular chi sao, so we'll be building on that.
We've also introduced Kali's hubud drill and how that builds defence and counter in knife and empty hand, as well as part of the lock flow.
KB:
We'll make sure everyone understands the "Tyson in attack - Ali in counter" concept and apply it not just in boxing, but in KB, Thai and MMA.
We'll examine driving footwork on the focus pads boxing and Thai pads.
We'll work more ABCs for boxing, kb and Thai.
Stix:
We'll get stick members competent in the Krabi 5 step drill and basic sinawalli.
We'll then look at serrada - the entry 3 to sombrada to hubud so you have single stick drills through 3 ranges. We'll cover stick locks from corto range.
