Class with Bryce. He has completed his first boken, finally attaching the pommel and wrapping the hilt. It has a couple inches on the loaner I had provided him initially, so there may be a small adjustment period. Stretch and once through his requirements. Refined strikes a few times each to work on getting him used to his new boken. 100 full cirlce cuts with dominant hand, 50 more with off hand. Several rounds of Add-On, with a five-attack limit (i.e. aggressor gets three including final blow, defender gets two). We each designed one combo and tried them out. Put on helmet and mitts and did some light armored 1 attack parry, spent some time on a tangent about alternatives to backing straight away from an opponent, and finished with some light armored 3 attack parry (me with the longsword).

I did everything with my returned one hander tonight except where noted.
