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.

Sayoc Kali History and Timeline

Cool stuff found on this subject. Like the title, Tuhon, was used back in 1970's before it was known in the filipino martial arts community by Pamana Tuhon Sayoc. Sayoc Kali was founded and created by Pamana Tuhon Chris Sayoc. Timeline dates certain events from 1959 to 2014. I also added the history of Sayoc Kali on my page. Check it out.

Class in Maharlika Martial Arts: 1/27/2015

We reviewed transitional drills throughout class. Later, Guro Joe M. showed some ways to integrate open-seam cuts during one of the drills. We had picked one transitional drill and tried to look for open seams during the drill. We then had Receivers try landing some phase-2 locks from a free-flow motion. 2 on 1 holds.

Notes:
Reviewed TD 1-4
made sure to tighten up lines of cutting. Reminded to keep the flow without stopping between attacks. I should try different modifiers to make the drills more ingrained.
