Gioco Stretto Playbuild
1. Start in Poste di donna. Parry to left with shuffle back and thrust forward.
2. Tuta Volta into second parry to left and thrust forward.
3. Poste frontale to left into finestre thrust forward.
4. Re-set to porta di ferro.
5. Block mandritto fendente with a porta breve into porta longa.
Will post a version with partner to make it easier to visualize. Glad that I got this done, but noticed that I really reset my stance with the reset to porta di ferro. Will try to keep stance height more consistent in the future.

I did meet my objectives for the week without having to fall back on contingency plans, which is a win. However, I filmed two versions of my Gioco Stretto playbuild today, one with partner, one without, and am not happy with either version. I also forgot to film from both profile and face forward point of views, so will probably redo video before submitting for assessment – annoying because I really wanted this one out of the way!
Target for optimizing practice next week is to get some of the larger training days + videoing done at the beginning of the week. This will be a challenge I may not succeed at as my weekends are much clearer than my weekdays, but my current weekend intensive schedule means that I am putting quite a lot of pressure on myself to “complete” my week on Sunday, so would like to avoid this by more evenly distributing training if I can.
