Tonight saw our regular weekly training session in Swindon. This week we started looking at Altoni’s 2 swords and the differences to Docciolini. Whilst the traverso was found to be very similar, the posture was different. Good level of analysis and understanding shown by all students

It was our regular Wednesday night training session in Swindon today.  We continued our look at Docciolini’s two swords.  Today we looked at counters whilst also trying to up the defense to a single tempo.  With so much steel in the way, it’s tough on both the body and mind.  Great levels of analysis by all students.

It was our regular training session tonight, and due to the football numbers were low, so in place of our scheduled two sword work, we instead used this session to review student’s progress and give them an individual action plan and some coaching based on their individual strengths and weaknesses.

It was our regular Swindon training session tonight, and we continued our work looking at Docciolini’s two swords. We started with a warm up, trying to do the pretzel and figure of eight with two swords, before continuing our work with Dociolini. Because of the complexity, this week we looked to perfect the base drill as a two tempo move. Some great level of concentration, and some good level up.
