Class with Rakta Nadi, Chris, Miriam, Ben, and Derek. Stretch and requirements. I worked with Derek, adding Cutting Pattern 1. As a class, we did a study on The Tradition, a new move for Derek. After the break, we started with our 100 full circle cuts (myself steel sword & dagger). We then did a few rounds of static uke gauntlet (one swordsperson moves through a gantlet of everyone else in static poses), then a few rounds of pel gauntlet. Next was a few rounds of Advanced Response Training, and finished with a few rounds of machinegun drill (any upper attack).

I used my new Polar H10 chest strap heart monitor tonight and captured the 2 hour class. According to it, average heartrate was 129bpm with a max of 159bpm and calories burn of 1188.
