Wednesday

kalari stick fighting drills - worked on footwork, movement, stick position and more drills.

Warm ups

Saam bo gin

5 attacks using chops, cover and gow choys

5 attacks two man - good for putting power and building condtioning, sensitivity and timing.

fighting form - 3 rounds with different partners non-stop for 3 mins. Tiring and arms dropped through burning and tiredness so took a few hits to jaw and body.

chy sau

reaction drills - partners facing each other close up (one attack one defend) and reacting / blocking strikes

conditioning - back of hands, wrists, arms, palms, gow choys

yum yearn kum la sau and corrections on techniques and apps

press ups

fighting drills using soc saus, elbows, kicks, strikes, gow choys, slap blocks

helping class mates with 8 hit sensitivity drill

conditoning for arms and gow chois

Private

gungs - ribs, how gung, back, waist, step.

mor kum gung - 3 types of clawing and using the waist and tension with the clawing motions

buk kui chy sau

fun sau chy sau - great chy sau for sensitivity as well as strength in a different motion.

pic jao chy sau - palm into chest , pic out, pic jao resist.

sharpening arm chy sau - single double - probably the hardest chy sau / 2 arm chy sau I have ever done as the tension and movement is very tiring, taxing and burns in no time.
