Notes:
Dan and I free-flowed while waiting for Bryant to show up. I noticed when I was feeding Dan, he would always finish off his tap with a left hand post and then push off to my feeding arm. So next few feeds, I knew what he would do. It seemed like his go to move. I was able to exploit his go to move, by making a bigger circular motion over his head, this made him miss posting my arm and me getting my cut. Interestingly though, I wasn't going fast. It took him a few times to figure out what I was doing.

We got to talking about the meaning for free-flow. Most of the time, we want to play our best technique out there. But we should rethink and make it a learning tool. We need to remind ourselves that it's time for experimentation. Time to see if that technique you were training works. Also, I remember Pamana Tuhon Sayoc talking to us about fighting our twin. What if we had to fight someone who was equal to us in speed, power, and knew what you knew. How would we be able to defeat him? What is the answer?

When Bryant got to class, it would be an interesting one. Bryant brought his baby daughter, and she was running around while Dan and Bryant were performing TDs. Made for a fun but challenging training for them.

TD 1-4 reveiwed
TD 5 taught. Bryant is training both Feeder and Receiver sides. Second week in doing TD5. More reps in will hopefully get it into memory.

Maharlika Class: 3/10/2015

We continued teaching Receiver grips. Two other students continued learning TD1. Guro Joe M. taught some differences in technique for the receiver grips. Guro Joe came from the West coast side of learning the drill. We showed both to see what differences and what works. Later, we had the students incorporate Receiver grips during TD1.

Reviewed 3 of 9 rh/lh/simultaneously
TD 1-4
Taught TD 5

Discussed how Pamana Tuhon Sayoc shared with us during a seminar that we learn physically how to solve problems. When these problems are presented to us, we have the decision to respond correctly or reflexively. But with training and learning the correct/conditioned response, can we make that right decision during conflict.

Maharlika Martial Arts: 2/24/2015

I know this is a late post but thought it would be nice to try with my group of guys.

Receiver Grips taught on this day...
Guro Joe C. helped teach this class with Guro Joe M and I walked around to help the guys with their grips. Later, we had them free flow. The past few classes we had them learn 7 count passing and later with counters. Near the end of class during free flow, we had Receivers try to get their Receiver grips or try to get a strip. Feeders ramping it up to include counters to their vital targets.

Nice class.
