• Tonight’s PFS class was probably the most straight up hood class that’s happened since I can remember. • A lot of improvisational blade work worked out of basic knife tapping. • Most of the pics are poor, but it was hot as hell, and the class pace was fast, disgruntled, and somewhat misanthropic. • My favorite is pic #6 - I heard @sofakingdilly connect that body check right before I saw it. It’s hard to counter a blade when you’re getting hit. • Despite bruised limbs, bodies, and egos, it was actually a great class with a ton of learning. • #redemption #redemptionfightclub #progressivefightingsystems #pfs #contemporary #jeetkunedo #jkd #filipinomartialarts #fma #kali #cjkdfma #filthy #mma #fighter #selfpreservation #selfprotection #gasstationready #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption)

• Saturday PFS - Worked Wing Chun trapping from counters to the boxing jab. • It’s necessary to work trapping from the traditional reference points to gain understanding and aptitude in the mechanics, details, and feel of the techniques. Otherwise, the trainee is working blind with no roots or foundation to build from. • Once there is an understanding and ability in the basic structures, the trainee can now move outward and apply the mechanics in real world, real time application. • The drills go from static and basic to “alive”, as Bruce Lee would say, and dynamic - with more room for incidental application. • The unpredictable nature of drilling this way creates circumstances where the trainee has to adapt and flow, resulting in a deeper installation of trapping skill along with a broader understanding of the trapping concept. • #redemption #redemptionfightclub #progressivefightingsystems #pfs #contemporary #jeetkunedo #jkd #filipinomartialarts #fma #kali #cjkdfma #filthy #mma #fighter #gasstationready #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption)

Ended PFS class on Saturday with a long knife sparring session. Sparring is a great way to build athleticism and train attributes in a real time environment. It's also a great platform to try techniques, tactics, and concepts against an uncooperative opponent. One of the things I like about sparring with the blade is, if you respect what the blade can do, you can't afford to be reckless, and it's easier to get beginners into a survival mindset. There's little margin for error, so footwork, awareness, and athleticism increase rapidly while the mindset for trading blows diminishes exponentially. #redemptionfightclub #progressivefightingsystems #pfs #contemporary #jeetkunedo #jkd #filipinomartialarts #fma #kali #cjkdfma #filthy #mma #fighter #gasstationready #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption)
