Day 6 (Sun): big practice and videoed myself doing the gioco largo defence form for self-reflection. I think I need to focus more on breath regulation in the future. I attended a couple of classes this week, which was good, and have enjoyed mixing up sword and dagger grappling plays and working on two-sword cuts and thrusts.
