Ended up losing track of time and not doing any sword work. Read some of Swanger Manciolino translation.

Day one

Had class on defending incoming thrusts (volta stabile, parry, tutta volta) and responses to these defenses. It was nice to have an odd number of students in class so i could participate in the drills. I should just do that more often.

I found I useful for myself to actually drill with a partner. And I found it useful for the students to correctly “show” the skills we were teaching. Give the correct feedback and talk with them as we drill. Also, Move the drill up and down in difficultly based on the student I was working with. Working at their level, and challenging those more advanced students.

I’m a little behind on my goals here.

Last week I did attend class and spar a little bit.

Ended up not feeling well, Tuesday and Wednesday. I should have read a little bit, but ended up just resting.

The end of the week I was on vacation and didn’t do anything.

End of the week

Sloth was my struggle this week. Was at my partners family and got caught up in the holidays. Sitting around not doing anything.

That’s ok though. Move past it, and focus on this coming week.
