We added two new students this week as we continue to build our school. Both just moved to the area from NYC and are welcome additions, having trained in other styles before coming our way. During their first day of class on Saturday, we worked on some basics – front kick, high block, basic punches, Ippon #1 and our first basic self-defense. Our basic self-defense techniques are taught at three levels – three is, if you haven’t noticed, very prominent in all martial arts – which are release, lock, and take down.
