Notes:
Reviewed 5 count passing drill. Added a vital target after passing blade.
Reviewed 7 count passing drill. 
Free flowed with both of the students. I fed most of the time. First, I gave them easy lines to counter. When they started getting the control/strip consistently, I added clears to my feed. Next I added non-linear. Most of my attacks and clears came from the 3 of 9 drill. Sometimes I would add transitional drill 1 to my clears.

In the end, we had a good workout. Most of the time they got their control and strips.

Notes:
Taught 5 count passing drill. Emphasizing on gunting (scissors) technique.
Tried using blades in both hands during the drill.
Grip change: one blade in forward grip and the other reverse grip.
Reviewed 3 of 10 template and 4 of 12 template.

 In this class, I asked them to get into their best fighting stance. Whatever they wanted to try to get into the most efficient and safe stance for the 5 count passing drill. I watched and saw that both of them crouched lower and kept the blades closer to their body. I also made them emphasize a slower pace but with intent. No strength involved or speed. Looked pretty good.

Taught template 4 of 9.
Went over 5 count passing drill. Emphasis on the gunting (scissor) technique. Alternating feeding every count.

Going to see if adding a modifier to templates helps them remember the templates better. Maybe add a timer?
