GSP looks like he’s doing chum ging drill.

Wishing all a Happy Canada Day!

We all may be in lock down but we can still be active. I encourage all students to continue their training as most of you have bags,pads, partners etc. This would be a good time to review and practise the rubber guard (see the attached courtesy subs101).... If you don’t have a partner or grappling dummy use a pillow or cushion to approximate your opponents torso, enjoy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUDqbU2jwxg

All classes on hold until further notice. Wishing everyone good health and safety during this crazy period. Best regards.

Started class with side shift to close guard, break opponents posture with legs and hips only (a real abs killer). On to 3 star conditioning, then more forearm conditioning by checking round kicks. Drilled Bak Mei Boi Jeung: ... -As side kick defence and counter strike. -As offensive direct attack (low hammer, high palm heel strike). Finished up with some Dei Saat kicks for fun. Passed around the dit dar jow as preventative measure. Just what the doctor ordered.

Class starts with round robin 3 star, followed by punching selves with 2 minute body strikes each. Destroyers sit-ups to empty the tank completely. Finish with biu gee (finger jab), and fung an (Phoenix eye) conditioning. Pads first then on the boards.

Wishing all a prosperous, bountiful, and healthy year of the rat.

Had my bro Manny, a blue belt from Broome County Martial Arts co-host a grappling workshop. Worked attacks from sprawl: anaconda, d’arce, clock choke, Peruvian necktie, and crucifix. Also drilled some 10P flavour: twister from an aborted RNC and rubber guard attacks: omoplata, and gogoplata.

End of semester sash tests all done. Congratulations to all the students. Great display of hard work, patience, and confidence.... Yellow stripes: Sophie and Henry Yellow: Chloe Green stripe: Jediah Blue stripe: Santino, Oliver, Abi, Dante, Keilan, Emily, and Abbey P Purple: Evan P, Logan, and Aidan Red: Sijaai Maya Special thanks to Sihing Danny, Claudio, and Evan W for their great assistance.

Hanging bag=1-1-2, clinch elbows Heavy bag=side kick combos Wall pad=chain punches Muk Jong=Mo Kiu strikes Versys=sweep to shoulder lock* Drilled ground defence: Upkicks, side kicks, scramble - pull guard.

Been a busy past few months with Halloween and school wrestling season in full swing. Thought I’d make a post with last nights group class: 3 star warm up then onto checking kicks (leg, body, and head). Thanks to forearm conditioning we get sore shins.... Finish with san-da sparring. Good times.

An excellent side kick drill. Increases success rate. https://m.youtube.com/watch
