Training Log–January 2013

Monday, 11.02.2013 - 13:57 GMT+0000

As you all know by now, the CSPS is an evolutionary concept and I pretty much apply that philosophy to everything I do, including my writing. At least, that’s the excuse I’m going to use for my complete and utter laziness of late with these training logs. As the year has become busier and busier … More Training Log–January 2013

CSPS Training Log–PT Session 27.01.2013

Monday, 28.01.2013 - 11:50 GMT+0000

Sunday saw one student’s return to regular training after a few weeks over Christmas, and so we got straight back into it with training the basics in new and interesting ways – biomechanical drills, specific and generalised movement concepts and their application, etc. As this student has two-hour sessions we had plenty of time to … More CSPS Training Log–PT Session 27.01.2013

PHDefence Training Log–25.01.2013

Sunday, 27.01.2013 - 15:37 GMT+0000

Hopefully the last snowy one for a while! Friday’s session was split between me and Paul. Paul did some partner work involving dealing with strikes – specifically barrages of them – and I added in the importance of being proactive in your ‘defence’ rather than being merely reactive. If your partner is saying ‘I thought … More PHDefence Training Log–25.01.2013

PHDefence Training Log–18.01.2013

Monday, 21.01.2013 - 11:42 GMT+0000

The snow is always a trial for training that tests us all before we even start! Especially in a country that famously grinds to a halt every time the fluffy white stuff makes an appearance. Last Friday, we got down to some padwork getting some awesome effort out of the students we had. Only three … More PHDefence Training Log–18.01.2013

PHDefence Training Log–04.01.2012

Sunday, 06.01.2013 - 17:07 GMT+0000

This is a belated post, I do apologise. PHDefence training logs likely will be often as training is 19:00-21:00, I always remain available for questions and general chat afterwards and the venue for them is a chapel so there’s a load of chairs to put back in rows afterwards in the hall they use. As … More PHDefence Training Log–04.01.2012

CSPS Training Log–PT Session 04.01.2013

Friday, 04.01.2013 - 17:03 GMT+0000

Over 2012 I didn’t publish very many posts, out of a mix of laziness and busyness. I intend to make up for this by returning to the act of publishing these little training logs. For me, it’s a useful way to see how things grow and progress over time. For my students it’s a useful … More CSPS Training Log–PT Session 04.01.2013
