Tuesday Teaching night -
1st class had 48 again, mainly kids, and its just an hour long so stuck to basics really, but trying to get some realism into the movements and some intensity. I have about a dozen mums and dads, some fairly er challenged, who are doing this as a family togetherness thing with their kids (which is entirely commendable). Lovely, well to do, middle class people all, violence is utterly foreign to them as far as I can tell, and they enjoy the classes so much. I love it that they love it but I feel so guilty… 
lol!
2nd class – 6 only. Strength warmup. A continuous line drill that became a five move combo against all the group, trying for some commitment and intensity. Speed/reaction work testing out some stuff I looked up on the net, which then moved into more self-defence apps – react, explode, escape kind of stuff. This needs a lot of work.
Then got them in pairs to make up bunkai/applications to parts of a couple of kata. This came from me questioning to myself about a particular turn in Taigyoku Nidan – beginners always do it wrong and shortcut it – why is it done the way we do it, what applications are there? (I found a nice step round behind and takedown).
Finished with quick, light conditioning.
