A heartfelt welcome to our new students, and congratulations on your initiation into this crazy thing we do ;-) Good session had by all on Saturday with a balanced mix of hard and softwork, and I could tell that everyone left with a much better understanding of the dynamics of plural engagements. I left out the conditioning element this time around so we would have more time to drill skills as the class was larger than usual, which demanded more coaching time to make sure everyone was on the same page.
Homework assignment is as follows:
- Freeform ground engagement: as done in class, minus of course the people walking around you; new students simply practice your basic rolling and falling for now
- Conditioning: We will be cycling back to TFC Mission 1 soon, so I suggest you revise that one.
Objectives
- Mental/emotional inoculation to plural engagement
- Introduction to the mechanics of plural engagement in multiple modalities
Warmup
IntuFlow intermediate routine
Prep Drills
- Freeform ground engagement from Brownian walking
- Partner assisted altitude-rolling – forwards and back
Plural Engagement Drills
- plural push drill – partners work in threes, with two uke applying pushes to tori from all angles; drill progresses naturally to strikes according to comfort level
- Zombie evasion drill – three on one and zombie infection; emphasise economy of motion – no more than two-step evasions; progress from simple evasion to adhering to and following uke
- Stick evasion drill – tori evades versus swings and thrusts from uke at comfortable pace; drill progresses from simple evasions to getting close enough to touch
- belly walk shock absorption drill – progress from walk to low jump to box jump according to comfort
- grounded evasion drill – slow-speed evasion versus stepping and slow-motion kicking; two on one
Combat Drills
- two-on-one slow sparring: tori aims to survive against two simultaneously attacking uke and effect takedowns and evasions for the duration of each 1-min round
