Class with Sal, Steven, Joshua, Elijah, Dalton, Michael, and Nick. Caleb observed due to injury. Stretch and requirements. I worked with Nick, reviewing his cutting and adding thrust. I also moved through the class checking in with a few other students.
After a break, we started with 100 full circle cuts (Sal and I with steel), then I reviewed some forearm and grip strengthening exercises (waggling the sword in various directions and positions), followed by a gauntlet (static bokken first, then slow attack speed bokken). We finished with a final 100 full circle cuts (Sal and I steel again) including the gauntlet guides as altered terrain.
