This class is aimed at the middle level or higher fighter. You should have the basics of chops, stabs, wraps, blocking, and basic movement down, as well as have at least a basic idea of the “why” behind fighting choices. This class will also discuss how to work through observation of a style. The bulk of the class will consist of sparring matches, where one opponent will receive style feedback, both positive and negative, from both the instructor and their fellow classmates. The goal is to cycle through all students so everyone gets feedback. Learning to observe and give feedback is part of the class, so don’t worry if you’re not good at giving fighting feedback yet. For this class, bring yourself, your preferred melee fighting style, a chair or something to sit on, and a notebook to record feedback.
