Bo / Student
Instructors needed:
Several to Coach
Description:
The students will develop QUICKNESS in creative transitions.
Step 1
Divide the students into even lines.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
When the instructor says “go” the 1st student will step into a front stance, holding the bo in their front hand and punching with the back.
They will release the bo with their front hand (effectively “resting” it on their punch), lift their punching hand and catch the bo behind them.
Once the student completes 10 reps, they can run back, tag their teammate and the next student can begin.
The 1st team to finish will be the winners.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
Keep a strong level stance throughout the drill; don’t bounce.
Keep your eyes forward; avoid having to turn and look at the catch.
To help the students chamber, think about loading up to throw a fireball.
Step 5
Continue for 2-3 rounds.
