Class Update: No Excuses. A fantastic few days of training, the messer work is getting better and better, moving from the slip cut to a follow on counter against various attacks, very street applicable work not just for medieval tools but for modern machete and long knife too. The dagger work has been expanding out too, again working through some basic arm and weapon arm destructions and locks. moving gradually into free counter against varied attacks, the latter very important to show how hard it is to not get stabbed, and to show how important the control and limb destruction is. Why no excuses? This is for when we come to the free form applications, it’s too easy to give way to the “well no one would really do that” they just did, “well really I’d have” you didn’t. If you get hit you learn, do not be frustrated with yourself or your partner, do not conceal or avoid your weaknesses, explore them and lose them in the safe environment of the class.
