certainly a full class schedule,

reminds me a lot of the drills we do when preparing students in sparring before a tournament.

thanks for sharing,

It does seem a bit much to me, at least on its face.. I'd be interested to see how long the class is and what you get into depth on.

 

[Thesemindz]

The class was about an hour and a half. I usually make a class plan that is fairly dense, and then play it by ear as I go. Sometimes I find that the students need to spend more time working on one specific drill or technique, and may drop other planned aspects of the class in favor of extra time spent in that area.

[First Action]

Good to hear you have a flexible approach. I find its always better to have too much planned than too little as it is easier to take lessons out rather than try to make up something worthy on the spot.

It looks like a good schedule. I'd give it a go.
