I’m on Bowen Island at the moment and so I went outside today and practiced the Gioco Largo defense form in some nice spots. They’re training videos, not assessment (so many mistakes but that’s why we practice 🙂 ) but I just wanted to share the fun locations.

I haven’t been able to do much of anything since the last class because of health issues, but today I picked up a sword seriously again. Still working on week 3, and trying to memorize the Gioco Largo and Gioco Stretto forms. Daniel made me some over the shoulder videos that I can put on repeat and that is really helpful.
I’m not giving up 🙂

Ive been trying to do little bits here and there, but my health really isn’t good right now so I can do very little. I’m quite disheartened 😔

In the longsword fundamentals I the mezza volta is explained as “describing a half circle with the point of your sword” and the tutta volta as “a full circle with the point of your sword”. So I focus on what the point does and that helps. Maybe it helps you too?

I think this is contra tempo

This one looked like mezzo tempo to me, since the dummy looks to be changing guard or at least getting ready for an attack.

I love how you can clearly see how much fun we had making these 😃

A tear drop and a circle, I like that 🙂
