Class led by Brent. Standard Jog+ warmup, then I did the agility ladder with the experienced students while Brent was working on stance with the newer students. Agility ladder is a 20-ish foot webbing and plastic rung ladder spread on the floor that we pass over in various stepping and hopping patterns. We progressed through ear game, three rounds with the third holding swords and being mindful of distance (measure), into a measure and evasion drill (permitted one cut which opponent may attempt to evade and make one counter cut), into cutting drills practicing a short-up/long-up/long-down and a short-scorpion/long-down pattern.
We then reviewed the primary lesson of the night, using zornhaus to counter oberhaus. As the opponent cuts on the diagonal from their shoulder toward your neck (oberhaus), you counter cut placing your blade on an upward slanting line directed at your opponents face while switching stance (triangle stepping) off the line of attack. You are then free to thrust their head or throat before they react.
We practiced this for a while, then formed a few pits where the experienced did some sparring and the newer, myself included, worked a bit more on this technique.
