a great day of morning training

[Matt - a simple hobbit]

Ava played independently for a long time this morning allowing me to work through my double sticks, stick and dagger, single stick, cover and slash, and knife lines. Rest weeks allow me put extra time into my material.

Speaking of extra time, last night was the first night in 5 days that I was able to practice on Mr. Bronson's dummy. I have been a little worried that just practicing on my heavy bag wasn't producing much muscle memory, but I wrong! I was able to go twice as fast with good form than I was able to last week. it was so exciting before class to fly the material. After class I went back to working extra slow to further put the material in my muscle memory. All in all, it was a great day for dummy training. I got through the entire set between 35-40 times.
