BEGINNER CLASS

Palm Strike

Palm Strike Combo: Left/Right/Right

Elbow #1

Combo: Palm Strikes Left/Left/Right/Right Elbow

Knees – emphasize control and turn, use attacker as a shield

Choke Front (1 handed pluck)

Advanced Technique: Choke from the Side on the Ground (ONLY IF the instructor knows it)

Awareness Drill: groups of 3; defender closes his eyes; the attacker makes the choke, while a third person stands somewhere nearby; the defender must defend, then spin the attacker so that he is between the defender and the third person

 

INTERMEDIATE CLASS

Front Kick to Groin (review)

Forward Roll

Drill: pushed, make forward roll, turn and give front kick to pad

Inside Defense with Counter Attack v. Left Punch

Inside Defense with Counter Attack v. Right Punch (2 counters)

Inside Defense with Counter Attach v. Right Punch (1 counter)

Drill: pushed, make forward roll, turn and defend Left or Right Punch (appropriate speed!)

 

ADVANCED CLASS

Focus Mitts with disturbing (pad holder strikes the puncher, then calls a combination)

Axe Defense v. Overhead — like stick defense, but emphasize opening outward with the defending arm so that the axe head moves away from the body. If you want to be very elaborate, you can tape rubber knives perpendicularly to the end of sticks to create an axe head.
