This day-after habit is starting to become the norm... :P

Last night was Sayoc Kali training. As Guro Nick was away for the weekend to go for his RKC Kettlebell certification, we started with Transition Drills until Guro Agapito arrived. As usual, he had us doing knife-vs.-knife Panantukan combinations while wearing goggles and using mini-trainers for safety. What was a twist was he had us take turns facing off against 3 opponents sequentially, using the same combinations as they attacked. Then he had the instructor-candidates Len and Tom go through the drill, but now it was more dynamic, simulating a multiple attacker "randori" sort of flow, with random attackers performing single attacks with no letup.

Assisting in the JKD class was rewarding as usual, as one woman was saying "You're so encouraging!"... it's my teaching style, and for myself I usually find students respond quicker and stay in a discipline with positive criticism rather than negative.
