So todays class went well. I actually taped the class for my instructor to see what Ive been doing.
We did our normal warm ups. Footwork, Ukemi Waza, disengagements, and punches and kicks.
Afterward we did a coupld combos, Seven Swords technique from Kenpo, first five throws, Kote Gaeshi, Yonkyo Nage, Sankyo Nage and ground fighting.
Everything went really well. Afterward I pushed stop and it said "Tape End". I thought, "Oh no!"
I rewind a little bit and then push play and it has the end of the punches and then "whammy" it cuts off.
Oh great!
Looks like Ill have to tape next class but only tape the meat of the lesson. I forgot those tapes only have a 30 minute range. 30 minutes isn't much of a two hour class. HAHAHA
Oh well, so he'll have to wait a bit longer for a tape.
* On another note. Baylen is doing very well. He's very close to yellow belt. He says he wants to test, but doesnt want the certificate... There's no reason though to test him unless he wants the whole "shabam".
I think Ill test him once Im a part of the PCMA. This way the promotion fee isnt much. Just a belt price and a small fee for the certificate.
Now, once he hits green belt level, he has to test and pay the fees. I want to get those nice certificates from Eri Takase. They are very costly though. So he will have to pay for that one.
Yes my students are given two certificates and awarded two belts. One in Shin Shin Jujitsu and one in Take Ryu Shin Shin Jujitsu. What's the difference? Well one is under the PCMA with Jack Albritten and Larry Brooks, and the other is under Chris Mitter and George Dillman. For our art, you can't get any better than both of those. So I don't want to sell my students short by not getting them both promotions.
Well, I'm off again to live the dream. Take care now, bye bye then.
