I taught something important in the sword class yesterday. It was a drill and a must-have movement. I initially dismissed this until looking at some of my 2005 Spanish short sword notes. Doble Carrera, or what we call Flamenco footwork, in our system.
The ability to move is enhanced if you are already moving, even if it’s on the spot.
I taught a lot more. I showed how this blends perfectly with our Sera. It also blends well with Sera with a K, and my unique Spanish knife research and study.
I have been thinking lately that at 60, each lesson I teach is my last. They need to be great to convey the art.
Thanks to Fabrizio Mansur Filograna for posting on his channel. Worth subscribing to if you are interested in sword fighting.
