Today at Krav class we did sparring and that was a lot of fun. I’m still not that great at it but I am starting to get better. At Jr. Krav today the kids started off with some dizzy bat races. We’ve done this in drills before but this was just for fun. They had two heats of 4 kids each and Eva won her heat so she got to go again against Kori. Eva did her spinning perfectly and then she was off and then splat. She bit it on the mats. Luckily she was laughing so hard along with everyone else. I caught it in video and then extracted the image of right before she hit the mats. For the rest of class Eva did great and she was doing so well at sparring.

For the next five weeks we have Sensei Saunders as our instructor and today we had sparring in both my class and Eva’s class. I enjoy sparring but I need so much work at it. I tend to do the same thing over and over so have to learn to vary my techniques.

In the afternoon I took Eva to her class and at the last five minutes they sparred, too. Eva did really well. I wanted to snap a picture of her actually sparring but only managed to catch her as she was finishing up. Sparring can be very tiring and Eva did several rounds with various kids. She’s got great form and is doing a great job.
