Class with just Sabrina and Don tonight, both Nate and Nivalis called out. I had them go through their requirements together twice while I went through my own Crimson Chain requirements and provided tips and observations. I then reviewed the three types of practiced moves and examples of each. They both have Thorn and Jumping Tiger 1, so I instructed them on The I Move today to gain them a straight offense move. After practicing The I Move a bit, I went through Cutting Pattern 1 with each of them individually, then called a break.
At the end of the break, I met with each of them individually and privately in Sword Honor. Questions included their impressions and feedback on the class and their reasons for wanting to learn how to sword fight, and I also reviewed with them their training path for the next couple months or so.
As resumption of class, I did one-attack and three-attack unarmored parry with them, then moved to a Balance 2 course of a cinder block, a raised beam, four bricks on edge, flat, end and flat, and two cabers.
After the conclusion of class, we reviewed specific green braid requirements and I pulled out all my armor bits as examples of the kinds of items they will want to start aquiring.
