This week students of our regular in-school programs were delighted to “step in the ring,” and throw on sparring gear (generously donated by Seven Corners Cycles). Students were introduced to tournament targets, techniques, and some simple striking and blocking strategies. Several parts chess, and one part tag, sparring with good control (not making contact to your partner) sparring can be challenging, exhilarating, and addictive….every class eagerly asked after more sparring classes. Thanks to our neighbors at Seven Corners for making it all possible!
