Ithra Class
Today I taught my Fundamentals of Defense class at the Aquaterra Ithra. I condensed my 4 hour class to 2 hours for the Ithra. I only had three students, but the class went well. I gave critiques on the shields they were using (size, strapping, balance). Reviewed basic fundamentals of shield work, foot work, range and balance.
We also went over several drills I recommend.
Because there were only three students I spent some time giving individual advise, which made the class longer and we went over time.
In the regular four hour class I would talk more about focus, sword blocks, other weapons forms, and more specific shield blocks. We would also do more drills.
I was unable to attend the Sunday half of the April workshop because of the Ithra. I look forward to hearing about it.
