Our typical discussions, exercise and rousing round robins galore. Stay tuned for pics...Master Foleys photographic skills are being taxed, as he tries to capture the blinding speed of the moves in the gym.
This week's highlights were some stupendous twirls to the inside with backhanded attacks by Master Nakama. Master Isaaac Baird's stylistically Hon-Gahr influenced stance and rapid fire defence/attack combos. Master Max Baird's terrifically quick viper like precision attacks. Master Foley's own stylistic emergence from the Earth he so dearly loves! And finally, a well performed reverse roll, recovery and disarm by our very own Master Hin Gasco. (BTW, Happy B'Day D.)
As a highlight, the Elemental School Masters are formulating their Form's Demonstration. Tentative rules for the Signorini Demonstrations are as follows;
- The entire demonstration will be paced at a distance of 10 advances. The Fencer must accomplish their demonstration within this space.
- The demonstration MUST include at least;
- (3) Retreats
- (1) Far Retreat
- (2) Lunges
- (1) Ballestra
- The fencer must perform every one of the following attacks;
- High Thrust
- Medium Thrust
- Low Thrust
- Close Quarters (any height)
- At least one attack must be to the OUTSIDE.
- Every attack must be preceded by a Parry.
- Each of the following must be used at least ONCE.
- Parry 3
- Parry 4
- Parry 5
- Parry 6
- The demonstration MAY include;
- Any number of advances
- Any number of retreats
- Presentation of HEAT must be visible at all times.
- Balance must be present at all times.
Based on the above, Signorini will be expected to perform their FORM DEMONSTRATION in our 2011 Tourney! We are coming up with an aide that will help both the judges and the participants prepare, and score the demonstration.
More to come!
A-Lei!
