Eric taught. We did stretches, kicks and crunches and pushups. During one-steps, we called Master Hariramani about the jumping whip kick one-step. It turns out you jump with the back leg, and do a whip kick with the front leg. We finished one steps and also all the forms.

Eric taught today. We had two kicking combinations that were cool:
o Turning back kick, roundhouse, jumping half moon
o half moon,turning back kick, front whip (lots of stepping!)
We worked on all the forms. We talked to Master Hariramani about a potential test this upcoming summer. Maybe in June? We should work on our last form, Palgue Pal Jang, and also some of the jumping kicks.

Thursday, May 29, 2008
Class Log, Wed. May 28, 2008 - Master Hariramani's visit
Today Master Hariramani taught. We started off with our stretches, punches (double punches), stretch kicks, and then did kicking combinations.
Kicking combinations we did that were ultra cool:
We then moved to forms, we went over all the forms. General advice was to be careful with our stances and preparations. We went over Chil Jang slowly. Things to remember about Chil Jang
We then moved to our jumping kicks, starting with the jumping back whip. The main advice for this was to work on bringing the knee up higher to get the kick higher off the ground.
Next we worked on sparring. Remember to yell before you start free fighting. Also, remember to stay fluid and try to keep things going. Prepare for the attack with your own counterattack. One way to work on this on our own is with the attack counter attack.
Finally we worked on the grappling. When someone grabs your belt with fist down (inside arm break) and fist up (use leverage and twist their pinky down into the outside arm break). When someone grabs you from behind, you need to twist their arms together.
Advice for the break, take your time with the turning side kick to aim it and focus. Time sure went by fast.
We also might have to look for a new space after this summer.
Kicking combinations we did that were ultra cool:
- 6 sidekicks and a jumping sidekick
- sidekick, turning sidekick, roundhouse
We then moved to forms, we went over all the forms. General advice was to be careful with our stances and preparations. We went over Chil Jang slowly. Things to remember about Chil Jang
- after the pull-upper punch and keehop, on the low hammer fist, the back hand (left) should be open palm
- after the low-hammer fist, the outside knifehand attack should be in a forward stance.

Video Links to our forms
Master Hariramani has posted links to our forms here. http://www.jdkacademy.com/members/cmanual/index.php
Speaking of which, we had a question about palgue Chil Jang. We had asked if the half mountain was in back stance, and according to the book it was, but we had foggy memories. After looking at the manual and the video, and the PDF of the video, it appears that we ARE in back stance for the half mountain. So that's one mystery cleared up.

Friday, July 06, 2007
Class Log July 5th, 2007
Angela Taught. We worked on kicking combinations (turning back kick, half moon, side kick) and (turning back kick, roundhouse and sidekick). We worked on our turning kicks (back wheel, back whip) and also our front whips and half moons. We also worked on our new kicks (jumping back wheel, jumping back whip).
We've been focusing on getting the mechanics down so that the kicks are accurate and controllable. With the back wheel and jumping back wheel, we are still working on just getting comfortable dipping and lifting our knee up earlier. With the front whip, pulling your shoulder forward with the kick before flicking it across makes a big impact. With the jumping turn kicks, we are still getting used to the feeling of jumping and kicking.
For my back whips, I need to work on not walking and concentrate on spinning on center, instead of walking forward.
Eric's back whips look great! The spinning breakdowns that we've been doing before these kicks have really improved the control and power. We'll plan on doing back wheels every class.

Class Log June 29, 2007
It's been a while since we've updated the class log. This week Eric taught. We worked on our kicks, jumping and spinning kicks.
For the front whip, we found that turning the shoulder of the kicking leg forward helped the front whip kicks be stronger. The commitment of having the body towards the front makes it easier to whip the hips.
The second take-away was breaking down the spinning kicks so that we are comfortable with our bodies dipped. We are still working on our spins.
Running jumping sidekicks were kicks we hadn't done in a while. We're picking it up and working on our timing and jumping high before the kick. The left legs are still harder to lead with than the right leg.

Katie taught. Stretches. We worked on back wheel kicks, jumping for jumping back wheels, jumping back whips. We worked on Palgue Chil Jang. We discussed some of the strategies for attack counter attacks.
Katie discovered a good thing about jumping back kicks. If we make sure to get a lot of height (jump straight up and down as much as we can), our balance is a lot better. So jumping like a frog is a good idea.

Congratulations to everyone for doing well on the 3rd Gup Exam. We all broke our boards within the first 2 tries and those four broken boards make good trophies. We'll be working hard on that triple board turning-back sidekick break for the next exam.
Today Angela taught. We worked on stretching out our sore muscles and doing flexibility stretches against the wall. We went over the new form a few times, just practicing the steps. We did some practice jumping in preparation for doing jumping-backwheels and jumping-backwhips. We practiced 360 degree jumps, keeping our stance a little narrower than regular fighting stance.
We discussed things we learned during the exam:
o upper knifehand block
o mountain pose
o half-mountain pose
Also remember the free fighting techniques we learned: using combinations, not getting interrupted, and starting thinking about using multiple opponents against each other.

We practiced all the new kicks and the attack counter attacks. We practiced the Jumping half-moon, jumping front whip kick, back whip kick, and twist kick.
Attack-Counter attacks :: We really only block the side kicks, twist kick (scissors block), round house kick, and reverse middle puches. For the whip, jumping side kick, and wheel kicks we are really supposed to avoid them. Also, we should practice both pre-empting and regular versions of the attack-counter attacks. The person who attacks may not always finish their attack, particularly when pre-empting.

Question: What is the turnaround for Spinning Knifehand Attack?
ANSWER:: Just a regular step in with the back leg and turn, nothing fancy.
Question: In the counter attacks, do we block at all, or do we really just avoid the attacks on each side? see next week for answer.

The other question we had as on which hand was in front in the X blocks in step 5, 20, and 21? Is it right over left or left over right?
Went over the new kicks: jumping half-moon kick, front whip kick, back whip kick, twist kick.

2) we are not sure if hte palm strike is open or closed handed.
We also discussed Jet's next trip out. Katie's knee is pretty banged up still, so we would like to move it further down, say either first 2 weekends of April. Angela will be gone the 3rd weekend in April for CHI.

  o For the Scissors Block in Basic Movements, which hand starts when which foot leads? What's the turn around?
  o How should we proceed with Push Aways moving forward? What's the turn around?
