"Drills, Baby, Drills!"
Tonight was adding footwork to stance training. Beginning with piccolo passo (narrow stance) with sword and buckler in Guardia di Faccia (Face Guard). Advance and retreat, holding guard static, at first, then including an thrust.
Next sets ended with a lunge. Retreats ended with reverse lunges.
Repeating this with passo giusto (medium stance) with sword and buckler in Coda Longa e Alta (Long and High Tail), then moving to gran passo (Wide Stance) with sword and buckler in Guardia di Testa (Head Guard).
Final drill was running through the 17 guards.
Sixty squats were divided in three sets of twenty at the ten, twenty and thirty minute mark. Sword and buckler were held during the sets.
