Numbers were back up again this week, and we went through the basic ideas behind kicking, with a little bit of upper body striking too, saying we ditched the plan last week. All in all, a pretty enjoyable session! We finished off with a few shuttle runs for fun too. Next week we’ll be looking … More CSPS Endon Taster (15.06.2011) Feedback
‘Ello, We had a few less than anticipated today, but all of the higher grades were there so we focussed on their syllabus work for their next grading, which should be soon. Once Paul gets back we’ll be focussing more on individual syllabus work, and discussing our monster seminar plans in more depth. Big welcome … More PHDefence (11.06.2011) Feedback
All of the attendees today were PHDefence students, so I scrapped the original plan of just doing an intro to the basics of upper-body striking, and we did some more aggressive pressure work followed by some surprise work and a few fun drills, before an anaerobic bit at the end. All in all, a pretty … More CSPS Endon Taster (08.06.2011) Feedback
Today we went through some basic Wing Chun techniques (Pak Sau, Tan Sau and Bonsau) and had a quick check of kicking, because I wasn’t entirely convinced everyone was sure of the differences between Oblique Kick, Jab Kick and Side Kick – it seems I was right, so I’m glad we did that! After, it … More PHDefence (04.06.2011) Feedback
Always an honour to help out with the local PHDefence class. Today they went through some traditional stuff (Shaolin Form), which I then built on a bit, extracting more practical techniques from the Form, and drilling those with pads. After that, I did a section on aggression and adrenaline with a good bit of pressured … More PHDefence (28.05.2011) Feedback
Today we went through some basic falling and rolling, with an intro to fall absorption and throwing. Before all that though we went through how to stand up, stupidly basic as that may sound, it’s of course important to know how to do so without using your hands, as they won’t last long getting stamped … More CSPS Endon Taster (25.05.2011) Feedback
Just a quick announcement that the forum is now online, at http://cspsonline.proboards.com (also buttoned at the top of this blog) – of course, it’s free and you don’t have to be a CSPS member to join (but if you are then send us a PM to prove it and we’ll put your grade in your … More CSPS Forum Now Online!
Today I was pleased to see a healthy increase in numbers; we’ve gone from 7 to 13, which is great! We went through some of the basic parrying defensive work, and then had a quick introduction to push absorption (think very basic waveform) work, and then played with getting out of grabs a little. To … More CSPS Endon Taster (18.05.2011) Feedback
Hey all, As you know, the first of the CSPS Endon classes went ahead this afternoon – there wasn’t a massive turnout, but the students we got were great. Everyone picked up the stuff pretty quickly, and once nerves were overcome everybody did great. We went through a bit of striking work today, basic punching … More CSPS Endon (11.05.2011) Feedback
