Stick and knife defence lesson 13 may 09
warm up with about 1/3 of the students holding focus mitts, 1/3 with kick shields and 1/3 as defender & counter attackers
have everyone moving around the dojo, the focus mitt holders are the attackers, the defenders need to defend light circular attacks from the attackers whilst kicking the shield which is closest to them with whichever kick is correct for the particular position of the shield, front, side roundhouse etc do around 1-2 mins each
Stretch
Stick defence
defending circular stick attack and then defending overhead stick attack, remember do a good counter attack ( more advanced students can mix up all techs and angles)
Stick and knife attacks
Defending straight stick attacks and straight knife attacks, alternate between both attacks, remeber the same body defence, advanced students can defend against left and right handed attacks also alternating their stance to have left then right leg forward
Finish with a couple of rounds of sparring, one striking with the hands / arms and one striking with the legs (you can defend with arms and legs)
