As you can see the schedule is a day behind, this is mainly due to recovering from burn night, if you can imagine swinging 2lb+ of finely balanced steel dynamically for an hour, in a high octane mix of pad work, cut and counter work and resistance H.I.R.T.S training you will still have no idea how physically and mentally intense an experience it is, to understand you need to feel it... legs arms and abdominals all should be aching like mad if you are doing it right, an awesome core workout. To paraphrase the man, fence with all your body... to help you do that, we will train all your body...
So to update you to Wednesday night: We went straight to longsword and sword/buckler, skipping Rapier for the week, the drills went like so:
Each circuit: 20 mins one minute on sword one on pads or counter then swap.
circuit one: Longsword, squinting strike on pads, left and right sides, mins one minute on sword one on pads then swap. sword/buckler, advance in thrust to pad.
Circuit 2: Longsword, again squinter on pads, sword/buckler enter tap down pin and strike.
Circuit 3: Longsword squinter against the fool (latter plough and it's assaults), sword/buckler enter in in half, (countered with the falling under), bind down, trap and strike.
Well done those of you who attended a great effort and good progress.
Thursday's lesson:
Well, as it was so much fun yesterday, we are going to do it all again. see Wednesday nights lesson. Train hard, Dave
