Rain cut down on attendance. We drilled under the pavillion on constraining the blade, and had a discussion of the differences in measure, tempo, and counter-tempo.
Attending class were Cillian, teaching, Sirona, William, Myself, and Rob.
Later, Tom arrived for some fight time.
Fought with Tom, both single blade and Case, and we both received individual coaching from Cillian. I now know what it is that Tom usually does to me to get past my guard, and what I need to work on to counter it. Tom is using his old foil training against me. I have to break his pattern and constrain him first. If I fight him a few dozen more times, I may get the hang of it.
Fighting case remains the most fun I have out there. Cillian coached Tom on how to defend with the blades and make your opponent forget you have one of them. Also covered staying out of the same plane, keeping the blades moving, not getting into a pattern. I so want my case authorization before Red Tower.
