This week we did a quick recap of last week, followed by intensive short blade training. The focus was on both fighting with and defending against a knife or short sword. After a basic explanation of the principles we ran through various scenarios, helping the trainees think through how to overcome each situation as it was presented.

| The peanut gallery. |

| Methods of subduing the "superior" reverse grip. |
 |
| Turning the sword against its owner. |
 |
| "You want to go home and rethink your life..." |
 |
| "Unarmed" is not the same as "helpless." |
As you can see, I was the punching bag for this one. No complaints though, they really enjoyed themselves. Which, once again, is food for thought...
