Building the Fence (diary entry)

29.09.2021 Wednesday's first two lessons were a continuation of my current course with Kingham Hill School. Today was mainly hard skills based, but with all the underlying soft skills previously covered. We looked at reinforcing the strike when personal space is breached by a confirmed threat reaction. This was performed as a target familiarisation drill and layered onto focus mitts. Having established the importance of boundaries we looked developed a concept of protecting these with the fence concept. This was also layered onto a target familiarisation exercise and the focus mitts. I also explained the importance of retracting the striking hand, power generation and repeat striking. Services
