- Warmup - Geoff Neupert posted this on his blog, used it before intermediate class and it really seemed to help. All lifts w/12kg. 1/2 TGU 3,3; Windmill 3,3; Arm bar 2,2; Lunge w/KB 5,5; TGU 2,2, GSQ 10; H2HSW 10. Fun.
- KB intermediate class - took notes, what a concept. 100 SW to start, did 5x10/10 1H w/12kg. TGU 3/3, 2/2, 1/1 w/10 swings in between. Tested toe touch before/after, improved.
- Worked on clean variations: singles to warm up (correction-let the bell drop); clean/SQ (12 in rack, 12 on floor, pick up 12); CL->PP (touch bell on floor), 5,4,3,4,5.
- Ankle tilts in lunge position to feel ankle opening, then ankle tilts, then toe touch. Huge improvement.
- Taiji class - awesome correction on dui la between empty hand and sword hand. Similar to "spread the collarbones" but energy continues out the hands. The collarbones are not flat, there's a curve that extends out to the elbows and then the hands.
