Today, Sensei Brien took us through some sparring drills.
Get in and get out….
We started with some simple sparring drills, making sure that we get in and get out fast.
- Shift in with reverse punch and shift out.
- Shift in with jab and shift out.
- Shuffle in with front leg roundhouse kick and shift out.
- One partner stationary, other partner circles around them in a fighting stance and attacks with perfect accuracy.  We did this drill with both punching and kicking attacks.
- One partner swinging both arms while the other partner attacks and gets out or gets hit in the head.
- Both partners move, one partner stops and the other attacks.
- Same as above but the partner that stopped is to block and angle out.
It always amazes me when simple drills like these are so effective!
