  • Today we are going to work on SHARPNESS.
  • SHARPNESS refers to how clean your movements are, down to hand and foot positioning.
  • This is important because without SHARPNESS your technique appears sloppy and ineffective.

Here are the three ways that we are going to improve your SHARPNESS today:

1. Have SHARPNESS with movement. 2. Have SHARPNESS while chambering. 3. Have SHARPNESS in repetition.
Skill-Building Drills – 25 Minutes

7 Cut Slam:

Students will partner up, one student needs forearm pads (square targets). Students will race to the middle with their partner and perform 10 alternating 7 cuts (Inner forearm block->low block) connecting with their partner.

Drop the Mic:

Students will “battle” each other to demonstrate the sharpest and most definitive ending to a combo either from the form or created on their own.
