Mid-August. Already. Woof.
Let's fire this up.
TRAINING:
In both the Kansas City Presas Arnis Meetup and in the Elite Dragon Presas Arnis class, we're working on material related to a core Modern Arnis drill we call "block-check-counter".
It's a partner drill where one person feeds, the other defends and counter attacks, and the original person then defends against that counter attack.
It's a really important drill for us, as it's one of the first drills that expose students to the idea of being a driver or being a passenger in a drill.
It's super-fun too. Everyone is having a blast!
BLOGGERY:

OTHER COOL STUFF:
It was my birthday last Sunday, and I went Axe throwing, and it's awesome and fun. But if you do that with a shoulder problem like yours truly, you're gonna pay. Worth it, though.
This is a true blade master.
Yes, exactly. Somebody gets it.
FRIDAY THOUGHTS:
I don't know what's coming next in this crazy year. I do know that no matter what, the one thing we can all do is train.
So no matter what, keep training, y'all.
