Try this to check how free your movement is. Standing back to back interlock your legs and bend forward putting hands on the floor. Now lift your legs off the floor and start moving together.

Many times we design a drill to work a certain way. Scientists make changes to experiments in order to reach a wanted outcome and that is a dangerous path to travel. In order to truely know ourselves and see things as they are we need to keep our minds and hearts open. A strong front…

A length of rope can be a great training aid if you tie one end to a leg or any other part (no ears) of a student and pull from time to time to help them deal succesfully with an unexpected situation. You don’t need a space station to get most things done. Make the…

A two drill day: (Mostly taken from VV H2H with my take of it) First stand and have someone walk at you using regular speed. Move away when you feel he is close enough (the feeling will change with time as long as you don’t let anyone come too close) Move away using regular steps…
