Time to get back at it and shed the Christmas turkey coma. Tip? Conditioning. . Put on all your gear & work mobility drills. Do 100 zwerchs (or work your way up there). . #newyear #conditioning #conditioningtraining #bloodandironmartialarts #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #longswordconditioning #woosh

If you’re working on solo drills at home, it helps to record yourself to pick apart areas for improvement. If you’re a student or member of our online program, we have instructors at the ready to offer feedback by request. . #longsword #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #bloodandironmartialarts #bloodandironvancouver

We may be stuck inside for a while, but that doesn’t mean everyone* in the house can’t still train (whether that’s in the online program, or with solo drills). Tony’s cat agrees.

We’re in the midst of another shut down. It sucks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still find ways to train (like in our online program, or at home drilling). :) One good drill to practice rapier precision at home, is finger tip lunges. You just need a little room in your living room or yard, and another person in your household to hold their hand up, away from their face. You can use your rapier, singlestick, or even a broom if you have to. Challenge yourself by having your ...target move every time you hit a finger, and adjust your measure. If you don’t have a partner, hang a ring from the ceiling, like we showed you in one of our previous videos. #rapier #rapierdrilling #lockdownfitness
