First class of Western Circle of Swordfighters Redding Dojo tonight. My four students are Sabrina, Nate, “Nivalis” (Ash) and Don. I began with a brief seiza introduction to the new class. For the first half of class I instructed on defensive stance and basic cuts. After break, during which I set up a balance course, we practiced Balance 1.
