An individual lesson from practice today.
From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, straight thrust
In time, from the instructor’s invitation in 4th, straight thrust
From the instructor’s engagement in 4th, disengagement
In time, from the instructor’s engagement in 4th, disengagement
From the student’s engagement in 4th, glide
From the student’s invitation in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, riposte by glide with a lunge
In time, as the instructor attempts a blade seizure in 4th, disengagement in time
Student places blade in line and starts advancing toward the instructor. Instructor either retreats, stands ground, or attempts to engage the student’s blade. If the instructor retreats, the student continues to advance, if the instructor stands ground, the student should attack with a straight thrust, if the instructor attempts to engage the blade, the student should attack with a disengagement in time.
From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, three straight thrusts, end of lesson.

It helps build situational awareness.
Thankss!
