Tuesday, May 29, Fighter Practice

Temperature, warm and humid

In attendance, Cillian (teaching) Sirona, William, Tom, Brendan, Mikolaj, Myself,
Students, Rob, Tracy, Justin, Z. Raven

Cillian worked on more stretches, the wide stance, and advances. He previewed the Capo Ferro Lunge.

Sparred with Willam and Tom. Then Oswin came over from the heavy field to do some melee experiments. Some of his ideas don't translate well from the heavy field to rapier, But he did point out how we are too linear in our thinking, concentrating on what's in front of us, and forgetting the periferals.

Charles expressed concern that the blunts on my Hanweis are wearing out too quickly from sun damage in my truck.

Mikolaj pointed out that I have good offence when fighting case, but I need to develop more defence.

The buckler I have on semi-permanent loan from Chris needed some smoothing on its honor marks.
