Wednesday 6th - Barwell Tag Test

Lunch time was the usual gym workout.

Last Wednesday was a weird one for Barwell. The Jedi's and Adults were due to complete their tag tests. This tag test was based on two things, pad holding being the main one. Having nOticed that the pad holding quality in the lower grades needs work, we deliberately gace them drills that would test their ability to hold pads correctly. In additon, for their parteners striking the pads it was a chance to demonstrate their proficiancy at the drills we have been doing over the last month or so.

The drills were as follows

1. jab cross front leg roundhouse
2. jab hook trailing leg round house followed by spinning hook.
3. straight punches, jab cross
4. 45 degree thai kick followed by axe kick. Not dropping the leg.

As the adults came into the class, it was clearly going to to be busy. In fact we had more Coalville students doing a catch up tag test than Barwell students. It was nice to see them though despite how full the room was.

This is how it should be, The Stealth Black Belt Academy is one team, we simply train in different places. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays it humbles me to know that our counter parts at Coalville are training at the same time as the Barwell guys.
