This is a lesson that I did with Dori at practice yesterday. My goal for this lesson was a little different then what I usually do. The idea was that during the lesson we might start with a base action, and then once that was working, I would either counter the action, or give a different cue, and let Dori figure out what she wanted to do with it. The lesson was pretty fun, but it was also the first time I’ve really tried giving a lesson like this and I think it would work much better if I can keep the parameters for the action fairly limited so that things don’t get out of hand (ie, keep it simple and focused on just a few things). Anyway, here’s a cleaned up version of what we did.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, straight thrust
- In time, as the instructor changes to the invitation of 3rd, straight thrust
- In time, as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, disengagement
- In time, glide in 3rd
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, riposte by glide
- In time, as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, disengagement
- Same as 6, but instructor parries the disengagement. Student responds with a counter parry and riposte.
- Same as 7 except that the student uses a feint by disengagement and disengagement to defeat the parry.
- Same as 6, but instead of a disengagement, the student takes an engagement in 4th and glides
- Same as 9, but the student engages in 4th, transports to 2nd and glides.
- Instructor attempts a blade seizure in 3rd. Student executes a disengagement in time
- Same as 11, but instructor attempts a counter attack in countertime. Student defeats this with a feint by disengagement in time and parry of third with a riposte by glide.
- Same as 11, but instructor attempts a parry and riposte in countertime. Students defeats this with a feint by disengagement in time and disengagement.
- Instructor attempts blade cover in 4th. Students parries 1st and ripostes with a glide.
- Same as 14, but student takes passing step back with their front foot with the parry.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, three straight thrusts, end of lesson.
