Last week we worked on sparring. It was a good wake up call for me to see which direction the lessons should go. So we worked on out fighting a bit (out fighting meaning starting from a distance i.e. not chi sau or grappling or ground work).
The class went great! It's easy to just show somebody how to do something. What's much more difficult is to analyze them doing it and find what can improve. While feeding Tyler a jab, I realized that we had been concentrating on touch sensitivity so much that he wasn't using his eyes to find the incoming follow up attack, which was just a right cross. All it took was that realization for him to completely jump to a new level. woohoo!
Katelyn got some video of the class, and hopefully I'll be posting it here soon. Also, she's figured out that her lower center of gravity allows her to throw people easier, which is hilarious to watch her throw Tyler.
