Hi there everyone. We were talking about this topic at our study group in Tustin, CA and I thought it might be a fun and interesting to bring up to everyone. We were all discussing at our last practice our personal practice routines when we are by ourselves at home. What exercises we go over and what we concentrate on at the moment in our practices. I thought it would be interesting to ask everyone else in arma what their personal practice routines are. What are all your practice routines like? I usually start my practice routine off with cutting exercises. These include ones such as the 16 cut drill and the 8 cut drill. Also most recently I have been doing flourishes. I do this for about the first 30 minutes or so then I spend the last 30 minutes working around the pell. When I do work around the pell I usually concentrate on specifics. I may be working on my perception of distance in stances, footwork of all sorts (That is to say simple, passing, and traversing steps), blade alignment when I am striking, and sometimes I use my padded swords to hit the pell at full force with full intent to also build strength in my arms. Thats pretty much my practice routine at the moment. Whats yours?
