Hey, I got in some work this week! So let's get started!
TRAINING:
We're still doing staff stuff at the Kansas City Presas Arnis Meetup and at Elite Dragon.
This week we worked on manipulating the staff so that you can maximize reach, and in switching grips from double palms down to more traditional "baseball grip". We are using our staff angles drill as a template for working all of those things.
And we learned and perfected the staff sumbrada. This is the version we're doing:
We'll probably wrap up the main portion of staff in classes at the end of March, then we'll move back into stick (and knife) stuff.
On Saturday, I was honored to be one of the 14 female instructors of the 1st Modern Arnis World Online Seminar, hosted by Deutscher Arnis Verband e.V. (DAV). There was a TON of fantastic information coming from these amazing martial arts instructors. You can watch the entire thing on Facebook HERE.
POWMA's Women's Martial Arts Symposium is going to be online, and as soon as I get more info, I'll post it here.
I'm 99% sure I'll be at this (so come meet me in Nashville!)
FRIDAY THOUGHTS:
Shoulder is still pain-free for now, so I will enjoy that relief while I can (I don't believe it's going to last, personally, but we'll see).
Y'all stay safe, have fun, and keep training.
