Well worth watching if you have some time. https://youtu.be/9MMpd2tpi58?si=7UR5ngvKlJRRyacz

Well… first live class in the bag. Unfortunately I thought I was filming in portrait instead of landscape, so there’s a good chance you won’t see my feet at times — which is not ideal considering there’s a lot of footwork involved 😅 That said, the first live class always comes with a learning curve. Tech, angles, flow — it’s all part of it. I’m still happy I got the first one done and out of the way. I’ll drop the video replay below 👇 Take what you can from it, and I’ll make sure future lives are cleaner, clearer, and properly framed. I’m planning on doing regular live solo classes going forward, so this is just the start. Onwards 👊

I’m back to classes today after a lovely 2 weeks off. A much-needed rest and recovery… but now it’s time to get back on it. One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: start slow(ish) and build. There’s always that urge to smash it on day one — full intensity, full volume, full hype. But I’ve learned to resist that pull. Think of training like a marathon, not a sprint. You don’t give everything in the first 3 miles just because you feel good — the road is long, and consistency wins. So I’ll ease back in, let the body adapt, sharpen the edges, and grow into the workload. Momentum beats motivation.

Wishing @Gareth Drury and his family, along with all of you a prosperous, Happy New Year, dreams coming True, and Potential Realized !

I’m dropping an older YouTube video here on single stick flow combinations. The purpose of working these flows isn’t about speed or power — it’s about developing smooth, continuous movement with your weapon. Linking strikes, transitions, and recovery positions so the stick never feels “dead” in your hand. Work it slow first. Focus on rhythm, alignment, and clean pathways. Speed comes as a by-product of efficiency. If you’ve trained single stick before, revisit this with fresh eyes. If you’re newer, this is a solid way to build coordination and flow without overthinking technique. Give it a go and let me know how it feels. https://youtu.be/IWTNGw_JSBk?si=j-SQnF2mEszTezgF
