Here we are. The week after the force-on-force seminar that I was getting all wrapped up over. As it turns out, I was getting myself amped up unnecessarily. I did alright.
The Hill Country Combatives seminar was focusing on In-Fight Weapon Access, so the exercises were all based around the entanglement. Since it was run more like a jiu jitsu seminar, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for me to get my own film, on top of taking notes and running the drills.
Borrowing from the Short Barreled Shepherd 3×3 Format, here are my takeaways:
Top 3 Things Covered:
– Grappling Positions (Standing at Grounded)
– Takedowns
– “Earning the Draw” (Timing)
My Top 3 Takeaways:
– Standing takedowns
– Reinforcing proper timing so you don’t mess up your draw
– I am making progress.
Yes there’s still plenty of work to be done, but it’s nice to see that the work I’ve put in so far is actually paying off.
3 Things I’ll Do Differently:
No major epiphanies on this one, no revolutionary discoveries. That being said – Improve my jits (there were a couple of very useful tweaks, especially pertaining to passing guard)
– Continue improving my cardio
– Continue exploring blade options.
