Class with Sabrina, Nivalis, Don and Nate tonight. I spoke about the three rules of swordsmanship initially, then we reviewed requirements. Next they finished learning basic blocks with temple, leg and thrust blocks. Putting everything together, we shadowboxing Cutting Pattern 1 and I had each of them face me to go through Cutting Pattern 1 a few times. After the break, we did Balance 1 with four cinder blocks, a long six by six, and two cabers. Near the end, I rearranged a bit to have the 6×6 at the end where I waited as the final obstacle. Of them, only Nate was able to get there and get past me.
