Backsword 13 Nov 2018

We worked on single-time oppositional counters from a low position. It is getting dark really early now and it’s time go indoors. Eric is scouting around for possibilities.

• Basic striking pattern, downright from open fight with compass step, recover into true guardant. Then reverse strike from true guardant with pass and compass, recover to open fight.
• Oppositional lateral strike from left side, working both stepping in for single-time cut, and stepping laterally to parry and then thrust
• Mullinets practice and drills
• Pressure/footwork and balance recovery
• Oppositional rising strike from spent position to counter a downright blow. Evading or moving in.
• Same as previous but working inside arm wraps (ligaduro mezzana)

Been lazy about posting for too long. Will try to be better.
