Great concept
I'm a beginner in Bujinkan. Spent about an hour rolling and breakfalling all over the place
Worked on a few beginning katas. The class was pretty much only beginners, the advanced students did not show up (small class!), so we stuck with basics!MrH

We spent a few hours on Keri Kudaki starting with 1 assailant who has already grabbed you. Then we added a second assailant who would approach from any angle.
The afternoon was spent on unarmed defense against a knife attack. Students were allowed to choose the angle of attack and we played around a bit. We started with defense against a stab to the gut, then worked on slashes to the upper body (neck, head) and a stab to the head.
We also did a bit of the classic held from behind with a knife at your neck and talked a bit about better ways to hold somebody for a few moments with your knife.
This was a Saturday all-day class with my training group's instructor.

That would most definately be cool!
Along somewhat the same lines, I've asked my instructor to offer the occasional Saturday afternoon seminar, (like a 3 or 4 hour long class based on something besides the routine stuff or a different art altogether) but he isn't biting.
My last class differed from the norm in that I had to take a required promotion test. (Towards my 3rd Dan) so the class was about 2 hours long. Indurance testing, Misc. TaeGuek and Palgwe Poomses, sparring, 1 steps (holds and takedowns) and a demo break. Tonight I'll be back to the regular class.
I had my first true Wing Chun lesson on Saturday. (It wasn't fully new to me because of previous training in JKD and small tastes of Jun Fan Gung Fu.) We started off with a section of Sil Lum Tao, much of which has failed to stick with me, then did a lot of pak sao/lop sau drills from the arms crossed position, then did dan sao (sp?), the one-armed preliminary version of chi sao.
Well the class worked in the old Semi Sparring template of Modern Arnis, and we worked on different break ins and how to handle them.

Our training group meets at least 3 times a week for at least 2 hours. Individual people will get together more frequently to work on topics of interest to them, or see each other socially and somebody will bring up a training topic . . .Gemini said:
Then every month we head out of state to see our instructor, and class is always a full day or two if he can spare the time and there's enough interest. I was particularly broken after the class I described above because the folks from my training group were Uke for every demonstration that day. I guess he wanted to make sure we weren't getting soft living in the mountains.
I'd love to be able to say that I make it every month, but I don't. Of course, I'd also love to say that I've gone with him on one of his trips to Japan, but again I haven't.

Just got home from class.
Green-black adults One hour
Warm-up (jumping jacks, skis, 50 push-ups, running, dynamic stretches)
Patterns (forms/katas) night - went through all forms, lowest to highest, as a group, then on your own, then as a group again. Interspersped with fun things such as sit-ups, push-ups, squat thrusts, hindu squats etc.
I learned the next pattern for my belt (having just recently tested)

Well tonight class was held at a restuarant, because it was our end of the year banquet. We had a blast and the students enjoyed themself, it was at a place called Italy's as you guess it was Italian food.
When we get the picture developed I'll post them.

Fun topic
Last Jujitsu class we did lots of breakfalls, rolls, ect. We did a cool drill in which someone would throw or push us down, then we do a breakfall or roll and try to get back on our feet as quick as possible. We did a few ground defenses also.
I did TKD tonight. We did lots of kicking and footwork drills (sparring night).
Between saturdays Jujitsu class and tonights TKD class, I am going to be sore all over after taking a week off (dojang closed for holiday).

Might as well play my own game....
From guard (bottom) setting up attacks with a overhook
We did triangles, armbars, keylocks, flowersweeps, chicken wings, arm triangles, and probably one or two others.
As well as how to get, keep and escape that overhook and how to work off the escape attempts to get the locks/sweeps.

In BJJ today we worked two basic sweeps finishing both with a submission. Did a guard passing drill and rolled. In karate we took an interesting dip into kung fu with some sticky hands/sensitivity drills, and of course worked on our kata.
Hmmm, Kali/JKD tonight...we started as usual with a few sinawalis (boring), then moved to some single stick defenses against the high forehand strike that went from block to takedowns (fun), then some JKD punching and kicking drills with the gloves on (the you-me-you, me you-me panatukan/panajakman style drills). Class is only 45 minutes long but it is worth the time to go!

You are already learning Lop Sau?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Well the 1st half hour I worked with a student on his kicking combinations, balance, and coordination. My class was spent working on form 6, two man set, staff set, and brown belt techniques. Then I had a meeting with the head instructor of the school on the material for the class I'm teaching next week for a couple of hours. That's about it.

I've never had a Wing Chun class and after 5 minutes or so to warm up the muscle memory I wouldn't look funny in a Lop Sau drill. JKD is good for that.
Arni could probably incorporate some Sinawali to the drill, even if he thinks it's boring.
