I just got back from it...So much fun it was.
We learned to block and practiced doing that. Then we learned to parry and practiced doing that. Then we practiced doing both at once which was crazy because we had to be aware of if this arm or that was coming, if he (the teacher) was moving closer, this and that. I did good, but he said I didn't get back in the proper form near the end, so yeah, gotta watch that.
Then, we did punches, which I had [almost] perfect form.
Only thing is that I sort of rolled my fist right as I went to punch so my wrist hurt afterward.
Dudes, this is so much fun...I suggest all of you girls taking a self-defense class....no guys though
