Longsword and backsword 22 May 2018

The second backsword was finished today… So we got to do some steel on steel backsword.

• Longsword cutting to warm up
• Review of box step against fendente
• Drill box step quite a bit
• Evasion and attacking drill, feeder has longsword
• Same, feeder has virtual weapon and workers can throw one counterblow
• Basic backsword attacks and parries from open fight, transitioning to bastard guardant
• Working variant strong side or reverse blows, same parrying dynamic
• First play of the zhogo stretto: inside disarm
• Squats, sit-ups and sword-planks
