matyishi no tonfa knee

Well, we started off with pumping the bo staff, and doing twirls while running. Then we some basic strikes. Then bo staff forms. Then we broke off and did our upper forms. Then broke off again and did the rest of our forms. Me and Bruce are really getting into syc with each other.

Then we did the sai and tonfa forms. I made a few corrections to the form. Hopefully it will look good for the test tomorrow.

Then we worked on some escrima counts. I had a hard time getting nine counts nineth strike in. Snowballs kept coming our way though and interrupting out practice.

Then we worked on some combinations. We worked mainly on the combinations. I'm getting nine count better all the time.

Went to the open hand class. About six people there. We did some laps.

Then we got on the line and did one pinion again at different angels. Then did combinations and kempos. Then we did this thing where we did combinations. The upper belts had to do more than the yellow belts. Then we mixed overheads.

Then we did this thing where we faced off to see how fast we could do some strikes or kicks. The thing thoug was that you only had to do them on when the teacher did a kiai. If he said go, and you did them you had to do pushups. If you twitched you had to do pushups. Then it got to be whatever side was the slowest. So if you had one person who was the slowest then the whole team had to do pushups. That was pretty much it.

Bruce brought out a jian. So I practiced the open hand tai chi form and the 32 posture sword form with Bruce. My teacher has a video on it I need to watch. When I can get it.
