We revised footwork, the figure-8 and pretzel, and our cuts and guards.

We learnt two new guards, Sopra il Braccia, and Sotto il Braccia, and two new cuts, the Mandritto Tondo and Riverso Tondo.

We practiced using the pretzel to parry a blade.

Revision

Keep revising footwork!

Practice the form at home.

Next week
