Blade Work

okay there are a few simple things to remember about good solid blade work.
  • point of the sword, wrist and elbow (all three points) should make one streight line.
  • move the blade A LITTLE AS POSSIBLE to make the perry
  • angulation isn't really covered here, but it's good to keep in mind.
  • PERRY AND PEPOST is ONE action not two. it should be acomplished in a single time.
