A great Essex Fighting Arts class last night and welcome back everyone into the new year. Also welcome to another new Member Charlie who is Obi's brother who seemed to enjoy himself last night.
Good to get some bobbing and weaving underway and not big movements. As I said, if you look at Mike Tyson he hardly moves but always puts himself in a position to hit. Thus when we moved onto the drills we wanted to stay close to out opponent while cutting their options down and allowing us to hit more. The tight hook in this scenario works lovely and indeed using friction blocks when dealing with slipping the cross as I showed you.
Then on to some single stick techniques just like in the video utilising the length of the stick and also being within an optimum range.
Hope everyone had fun and a nice full class. See you all next week. Ouss...
