Beginner, wanting to create a Fiore for Dummies

Postby Eric Cwik » Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:08 pm

Since I've got to convince my friends to try this out, since I'm only a beginner (as in I havent' started classes yet) I wanted to make a group of PDFs that help the most basic information: I've come up with this template:

If you can give me advice on some things to concentrate and add upon please do, aesthetically as well as technical. Thanks in advance.

In the case of the first and last positions you have illustrated (Whole Iron Door & Half Iron Door) look more closely at the foot positions in the original drawings. You will find that in both instances the rear foot is turned at approximately 45 degrees (as in a boxers stance) and not in the 90 degree stance as you have illustrated.

For more on this, please see: http://www.thearma.org/VoltaKeyandScale.htm

I hope this helps!
