Louie Tatata and Other Tambo DrillsGreen and up » Sensei Mark Brandenberg
Tambo drill time! In this class you will learn Louie Tatata's 2-person tambo drill and others. Louie Tatata’s Tambo drill is a lot of fun to learn and incorporates many of the basic blocks and strikes in our curriculum and even provides an opportunity to work on disarms! The drill can continue in an endless loop or as long as desired and can be done while moving or at different levels. While the drill can be completed fluidly non-stop, a hidden aspect of the drill is the use of the check hand which provides an opportunity to stop the drill at any time and practice disarming your partner.
