Class tonight was great. Llyle dropped by to train and signed up. I had Kyle, Llyle, and Trevor in tonight. After a quick warm-up I finished reviewing hold escapes for Trevor's upcoming Yellow belt test. Kyle and Llyle did the basic escapes as well as variations to bear hugs from the front and rear, over and under the arms, bear hug from the side, double rear arm pin, and 2 hands on throat (arms bent). I then reviewed the valley throw from last week as well as the two after throw controls.

Sensei Mariedke took the last 15 minutes and broke out the Kali sticks and we played around with some single stick Kali drills which brought back (very rusty) memories of that Kali seminar that was hosted by Sensei Duscheneau (I think? It's been a while) in Gatineau several years ago.
