More Rapier
Went to a tiny rapier practice in Kitchener on Thursday. Still moving pretty well despite the dusty floor. In fact I straightened up near the end and did some lovely effective and minimalist Spanish side-step-and-stab stuff. Italian lunges can be risky on a slippery surface.
My blade-work has predictably deteriorated though. I should rig up a dummy of some sort for stringere practice.
Only mildly stiff the next day. Went to a barefoot jam Friday night and danced like a maniac with a further noticeable lack of ill effects.
So I'm feeling pretty good about the first class tomorrow. In fact, I'm procrastinating my prep work right now!
