Impromptu training

Tonight's black belt class was brought to you by....nobody.  class was cancelled due to junior tigers testing.  Anyone who showed up either did mentoring sessions and/or broke off into groups to work on individual preferences.  I got to work on various combinations of things with Mark, Kim, Courtney, Kushi, Harsh, and Hansika .  We went over staff forms, Hapkido forms, and self defenses.  At the end there was a fair amount of tumbling and laughing, so it seems a good time was had by all.  Mark and I  are still working on getting more solid with the self defenses, and I need to ask Master Cavazos about the flip over the shoulder at the end of six.  I know I'll have it down. For testing but I need to find out how they actually want this done.  Roll over the shoulder? Flying leap? Launch out of a cannon? Stay tuned....
