Tuesday Practice June 26

Weather very hot and muggy

Attending fighters, Cillian, Sirona, Tom , Paul, Myself

Additional students, Rob, Tracey, Z.

Cillian had us work on the punch and avoidance drill we learned down at Jean Michel's. I worked with Sirona, Tom, Rob, and Z.

Fought with Paul. He is still incrdibly fast, very strong. Not very many touches on him. Fought both rapier, and rapier and dagger. His left-handedness is also a factor.

Fought Tom, both styles. He still does more with his upper body strength to muscle through my defence. Hard to get stringere on him.

Fought Cillian. He is much looser than at J-M's and I didn't have as much success this time.

We then worked on some 2 on 2 scenarios, Cillian and I vs Tom and Paul, then switched Paul and I against Cillian and Tom. I fought case and was not satisfied with my defensive work. I scored some touches in the melee, but went out much too quickly. Trying to work mor on my cross-diagonal attacks, but still have to watch the man in front of me.
