So my last day on the Ranch consisted of epicness. I did some target work with my whip, which was something I've always wanted to do. I've very happy I got the chance too because now I know how I can continue working on it!
I also did a lot of Blade work using Broadsword (both single and double hand) and moved into doing some Quarter Staff work as well.
To sum things up, I went in with the knowledge of rapier, whip, unarmed, and small sword (on my left hand, whip on both)
I know and the proud owner of a brain that can on both hands do the following:
Rapier, Saber, Smallsword, Unarmed, Broadsword (single and double hand), Double Sticks, Quarter Staff, and (more accurate) Whip. Not bad for 5 days.
I still have issues with my flicks utilizing the DeLongis method, but hopefully, if I continue my work, I should get that down soon enough.
I feel much more confident in my stage combat abilities and hopeful that, presuming I keep reminding myself of proper form, I should continue improving.
Alright, hopefully next time I post, I will have some videos to show. I plan to go to the park this weekend when I get home...so that I can play with my new shinies (did I mention I purchased a beautiful Spadoon and 7ft 16 plait double braided roo-hide whip!) I'm super excited to play with my new goodies! ( I refuse to call them toys because they truly are tools rather then toys)
Until Next Time,
