SAMPLE 5 MIN CLASS:
​DRAGON WHIPS ITS TAIL

Imagine it is several months into your sword course. An email arrives informing you that today's move -  Dragon Whips its Tail  - is now available. You can view or download it anytime. If you do it now, you'll need just a few minutes, so you reach for your retractable practice sword, and begin...
  • Introduction to name and move.
  • Posture Seen from 3 different angles.
  • Conclusion​​

SAMPLE SILENT MONTHLY SESSION

  • Every week one class, like the one above.
  • Every 4th week, the video is silent. It either recaps the previous 3 moves and then adds them to the whole form, or it is a Drills session.
  • But the aim is not only to go over what you have done, but to do so in silence. Check out this example of a silent drills class 
  • And every 4th week, you receive a PDF of the moves, with instructions and background information to compile into your own manual.
