Maharlika Class notes: Aug 5, 2014

I was able to go up and help Guro Joe Cypressi teach class. Went over TD1 with Alex and Bob. Then, reviewed different cross tapping. First, pendulum to corkscrew to funnel, and we tried percussion tapping. I had them try percussion tapping in TD1 to see where they could use it.

Later, Guro Joe C. reviewed AK material Bolo Evo 1. We also tried a modifier--an aluminum bat. It was interesting because i had a hard time holding it with one hand. I had to either choke up or use two hands to perform certain techniques. We first warmed up with long smooth X-swings. He mentioned how to keep the flow from one side to the other without stopping/jerking. We later tried performing the Bolo Evo 1 with bats. Very loud!! But it was very cool to see how much we could manipulate the bat to do the Bolo Evo 1 drill.
