There weren’t a lot of folks at practice today, but we still had fun.

It’s a bit cold, but the wood stove was going, so it kept the swords warm.

(And, us.)

We worked on new fights, or at least fights that are new to at least one of the folks doing them.




And, one totally new fight.


We did also talk a lot about one of the things we want to work on for next year.


All in all a good practice.

Ballet with shields?

Sort of.
It would be choreographed, not free form. So it is like ballet.

Do you have many bookings for next year?

So far we have only a few firm bookings.
But we've got verbals on about the same number as this year.
I'm hoping for more...

Okay...that first picture made me giggle because it reminded me of some of that animated elf-dancing stuff that is so popular, this time of year.

I have so much respect for y'all...I'm such a klutz, I'd manage to lose a limb...probably by my own hand.

Maybe after the holidays. Right now life has just gotten rather busy...as it always does before the holidays, I guess.

Let me know. We practice most weekends all year. Hopefully we will have more shows next year.

I woiuld stil like to bring a sword to my gym someday, just to see how people would react. :)

Do you improvisse your fights? Or are there preplanned moves? (You can probably tell I don't practice with swords a lot!)

When we perform they are all choreographed.

But at practive there is more improv as we write the fights. But, it gets fairly well set quickly so it can be practiced.
