Lesson 28 – expanded
I did a group lesson today at practice, which I just wrote about. However, I also had a couple of things that I wanted to work on with Dori, so throughout the lesson I added some extra things that I wanted her to do. Specifically, I wanted to focus on feints, and renewed attacks. I also wanted to experiment a little with distance by using a gaining step. Here’s what we did:
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, straight thrust
- In time, as the instructor invites in 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 with a glide (no lunge)
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, riposte by glide with a lunge
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th with a gaining step, riposte by glide with a lunge
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, time thrust in 4th
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, arrest in 4th (with a lunge)
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, feint by disengagement and disengagement.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, feint by disengagement and disengagement with an advance.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, feint by disengagement and disengagement with an advance. After the instructor pulls distance a few times and makes the initial attack fall short, student uses a gaining step to cover the extra distance.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, feint by disengagement and disengagement with an advance. Instructor parries and retreats. Student recovers forward with a feint by disengagement and disengagement.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd, double feint by disengagement and disengagement.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries and retreats, student recovers forward with a feint by disengagement and disengagement
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries, retreats and places blade in line, student recovers forward, executes a blade seizure in 3rd and glides.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries, retreats and places blade in line, student recovers forward, executes a blade seizure in 3rd and glides. Instructor retreats to make the glide fall short and then steps back in with an attack to the low line. Student responds with a time thrust in 2nd.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries, retreats and places blade in line, student recovers forward, executes a blade seizure in 3rd and glides. Instructor retreats to make the glide fall short and then steps back in with an attack to the high line. Student responds with a time thrust in 1st.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries, retreats and places blade in line, student recovers forward, executes a blade seizure in 3rd and glides. Instructor retreats to make the glide fall short and then steps back in with an attack to the high line. Student responds with a passata sotto.
- In time as the instructor attempts to engage in 3rd,double feint by disengagement and disengagement with a coordinated step. Instructor parries, retreats and places blade in line, student recovers forward, executes a blade seizure in 3rd and does a feint by glide. As the instructor attempts to time thrust in 4th, student executes a disengagement and fleches to the low line.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, three straight thrusts end of lesson.
