Blueberry practice
Jul. 22nd, 2012 06:22 pmThis morning I made blueberry muffins.

Yay! I love blueberry muffins.
It was a beautiful day, cooler than the last few weeks which was nice.

Since more car porn was asked for last week:

My wife an I got worried as practice time approached and no one was there.

But, just at 1 some folks did show up. Of course, they had to don the red robe of shame for being late.

(OK,
After disrobing, Brandon requested longsword so we worked on that.

The Gil wanted the back breaking rapier techniques from the 1600’s.

Good thing I had the books.

But, folks seemed to enjoy it.

Some of those positions are hard to do.

The techniques are OK, but I have trouble doing some of the bends.

Those rapier postures look as if they were designed for contortionists. Was the intent to present an oddly shaped, low C of G target to the opponent? Being flexible and well balanced seems like a prerequisite for that type of technique.. Looks a bit like JAckie Chan's drunken boxing..
