My Sunday is wide open. What about shifting the online class to Sundays? Timing is up to you guys -m I can do morning, afternoon or evening - just SPEAK UP! We can start tomorrow... but I need you to SPEAK UP! If it works for you, post a few time windows and let's figure out one that can serve the most members. Let's do this!

Come on, brothers, upgrade to premium. If you're in the group, that means you're interested in FMA. So why not contribute a bit to learn more about it. It's a lot of value for a small monthly contribution. This gives you the opportunity to learn directly from one of the best FMA instructors in the world. And you know I'm not exaggerating. The man has over 50 years of experience, putting every single technique of this art to test. And refining them to apply against resisting opponents. Very in depth answers, very detailed explanations, demonstrating the techniques with his students. And if you can't make it to the live classes, you can still watch the recording the next day. I know online classes are not ideal. But please consider giving this a chance. You won't regret it.

Long before I ever even thought of starting this whole Skool thing, my wife got tickets to Phantom of the Opera for tomorrow evening. So, as you can understand, I will not be doing the online class tomorrow. Let’s talk about switching it to earlier in the day on Sundays. That would be easier for me. - M

Unfortunately, the guy who usually assists me could not make it and I didn’t remember to start recording the class until we were about to close the class. Tech stuff. In future, if you’re taking the class, feel free to remind me to hit record.

Guro @Mark Mikita , a question about the decision to use which disarm. I was wondering about which disarm would be my disarm of choice when initiating with a number 1 attack and closing the line with a number 2. From what I understand, the main options we have are the Rolling Strip Disarm and the Vine Disarm (using the Puño as a fulcrum). I saw a video explanation of yours that you don't like the Thread in the Needle Disarm because it puts you in a vulnerable position to the opponent doing the same disarm with you. So, between the Rolling Strip Disarm and the Vine Disarm with the Puño, you can just use them interchangeably in any situation? Or is your decision to use one or the other based on the opponent's reaction or whether you can access his arm with your checking hand? Still on that, I saw a great counter-disarm of yours to the Rolling Strip Disarm in the "Disarming & Counter-Disarming Demo @ VISS 2020" YouTube video of yours at 3 minutes and 44 seconds. But in that case, both you and the person trying to disarm have your checking hands in a pronated, palm-down position. Is this a variation of the Rolling Strip Disarm? I am asking this because the vast majority of times I see you using the Rolling Strip Disarm, your checking hand is supinated, with the palm up.
