This is a short excerpt from the Budokas practice on July 9. Chip on defense only, and bits of John, Marcelo, and Greg’s turns on offense. Class started with basics then on to about 35 minutes of this. There were six attackers total. Same defender. The drill is that attacker goes at a light, medium pace, and the defender simply moves and blocks. Defender does not counter. This is a movement and vision exercise.

This is a short excerpt from the Budokas practice on June 25. In the first clip, Sensei Jordan steps in with Jorge (Purple Belt) as his uke. The drill is that attacker goes at a light, medium speed pace, and the defender simply finds ways to foil attacks and set up counters by movement and blocking. Defender does not counter. This is a movement and vision exercise. In the second segment, Chip provides the attacks while Greg defends.
