Where I trained when in UT. Master Brian Corrales is a fantastic instructor and I would recommend a visit if you are going through Salt Lake City to go skiing. He also has a great blog.

Master Frampton’s school in New Windsor, NY is where I have trained for the past few years before moving to UT. The school has great energy with dedicated instructors. Don classes tend to have 10-15 people or more on a regular basis. If your up north of the city you should stop by.

9/14 Springfield Class

I made the mistake of not wirtitng this down the next morning and missing lots of details.

My first class since moving back home to Westchester. It is a long day but worth it. Leave my house at 6:30am and got into work about 9:20am. Got home about 11:20pm.

Class was way fuller than the summer classes were. About 2x the people making for some tight conditions at time but it was great to have so many people in class again.

Defender retreats by switching front foot back while simultaneously doing a low and high block with your hands.

As soon as the block is effective, stop out to the side (direction depends on attacker) doing a double back fist.
