This morning I met up with my friends and did shoulder day. I forgot to take a photo of my set list, so I’ll upload it later.

I didn’t get the chance to fence or drill with another person, so I used the pell at Francois’ house instead. For those of you unfamiliar with pell work, a pell is a target you use for solo practice. In this case, it’s a 4×4 mounted vertically on a base and wrapped in rope with extra tape at the top. The rope and tape cushion the 4×4 so that hitting it doesn’t hurt your sword or chew up your target. Since the ceilings are high at Francois’ house, I was able to practice some cuts indoors with my arming sword.

Tomorrow I may get another 100 cuts in before we start our day. If we don’t have time, I’ll come up with something to do once we return to Pensacola.
