Class with Jesse and Miriam (late). Stretch and requirements. Reviewed Miriam’s requirements and then Jesse’s sword & dagger basics. We did a focus session on Mantis, getting in a number of reps, including using our shadows to get some angle feedback.

After the break, we did 100 cuts (jesse and I 2H steel), Refined Strikes, Advanced Response training, and finished with Balance 1 and 2.

It was an All Weather class, it started to spritz rain a little just before it started and by mid class we were getting intermittent torrents, though the dojo surface held up sufficiently that it would not classify as all terrain as well.
