Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

Tonight’s adult class continued with the recent focus on kumite drills. We started with yakusoku kumite and then moved from there into a variation where the attacker just keeps going, pushing the defender across the floor, while the defender blocks, counters, and gets back in front of the attacker before continuing. Students had some challenges with this, so I promised to come up with a progressive drill for next time.
