Submitted a video for reassessment today, which felt good to get out of the way.
The past week was quite an easy one, both physically and mentally, compared to the previous training week – I basically trained what I wanted 100% of the time, which meant a lot less repetitions. The perfect training week would probably balance the first week’s challenge and structure with this week’s flexibility…

Day 5 (Friday)
20 mins partner practice working through Five Measures Form.
5 reps Twelve Poste Progression (will film tomo).

Day 4 (Thursday): Started off with the Daily Drill, which is actually how I start every training day – I find copying a drill that I know is only going to last about 3 mins a mentally and physically easy (and therefore enticing) way of getting my practice going. Today was ribbon cuts alternating with upward x.
Then worked on Five Measures Form whilst rewatching Sunday Foundation segment on the same.
Then 5 reps of 12 Poste progression.

<div>Quite an intensive week following the different “small”, “medium” and “big” training plans. Will go back to more versatility next week so I don’t burn out!
</div>One thing I’m enjoying is being able to get more out of partner practice these days. Instead of Nic and I holding out our swords and wondering what to do, there’s always something to be working on now, which is great.
