Students Jessie Rothenberger and Dwight Worrel came to class ready for what was to be a very rigorous night of self defense! When Master Les Edwins showed up to the Dojo they were already stretching and warming up. Yes, I believe they knew this class was going to be a test of their strength and stamina! Well they were right. Jessie and Dwight were taken through a series of warm up exercises, punching drills, sit ups and squats followed by their first "Pinion" (a series of techniques in a movement) and a new Back Grab technique. To Master Les Edwins' surprise they both quickly caught on to the first few moves of Pinion #1, so it was obvious that they could learn the whole Pinion...and they did! After several practice runs through Pinion #1, they learned back grab #1, a technique where an attacker grabs you from behind. They were then taken through a short example of a pre-test by Master Les Edwins. Both Jessie and Dwight did well and class ended on a good note...lots of sweat to wipe their heads with their belts to retain their knowledge in, and two tired but dedicated students of the KAJUKENBO (MIXED MARTIAL ARTS) SYSTEM!
