A few notes from last week's longsword class.

We revised our current suite of cutting drills, the Mastercut exercise and the first posture exercise.  We added a second posture exercise: Start with left foot forward adopting each posture in turn while saying its name.

A few notes from last week's longsword class.

We returned to the earlier drills.  To the cutting drills we added a variant where the Oberhau are performed with the short-edge, in the manner of a Schielhau.  So we have Schielhau 1, Unterhau 3, Unterhau 2, Schielhau 4.  Also Schielhau 1, Schielhau 4, Unterhau 2, Unterhau 3.  Note that the second pattern includes the short-edge to the top left followed by short-edge to the top right that we found in Meyer's first play from Vom Tag.

We revised the plays from Vom Tag, adding the next two.
