yoking a form

So we started the weapons class out with three laps, pushups, situps, and jumping jacks. Then did some strikes in the air. Next we did some forms.

I worked with a blue-green belt on Choto Cyan. One thing I mentioned is the his blocks. Took out a bo staff, and demonstrated the attack he would defend against. I think he help him improve his form.

Then I worked with a yellow belt, and watched her do her form and when over some of the movements with her. Next I "yoked" the form, which is do the attack she is to defend against. I didn't do that attack fullspeed though. Although I think he helped her remember the form.

Then me and Brad worked on Matayoshi No Tonfa Knee. It needs work part of the problem is I dont' get alot of time to practice it. It's still new to me.

Next we did a little sparring with foam bats. The first so round we did where you could only do so many attacks. Then we did it where it was two on one.

Then we did empty hand class. We did about seven laps total. Then did stretching. Next we did a gauntlet with overheads, and sideclubs. Then we did a ring of hire and did that again.

We worked a little backwards rolls. Then we worked on knife techniques also, and I worked with a purple belt on an underhand knife technique and overhead knife defense technique.

For the last thing we cleaned up the studio. We all took a section and wiped down the mirrors. We also straightened the equipment.
