Class with Sabrina, Don, Chris, and Sal tonight. Nate called out. In seiza, I eloborated on the approach of the Western Circle’s style, The Way of the Ever Adapting Blade. We then had a brief stretch, then I went over Thorn for the whole class. Sabrina and Don paired for requirements and I worked individually with Sal and Chris, refining Chris’ basics and instructing Sal on basic cuts (head, neck, decap, leg). I also reviewed Don’s basics and cutting pattern 1.
After a break, we had Balance 1 plus a thrust ring. I also instructed Chris on Cutting Pattern 1, then paired him with Sabrina to practice it a bit more.
