Weapons practice

Today we mostly played with big sticks and pointy swords.

Great fun, tai chi from 10 am 'til 4pm. Form and pushing hands in the morning and then an afternoon of a variety of weaponry.

In this pic we are learning how to deflect a spear with a sabre, grab the spear with your hand and bring the sabre around your back to chop the other persons head off.

As you can see we were both enjoying ourselves and I managed to escape with my head still attached.

Thanks to Sifu Mike for a brilliant day and for the loan of this pic for my blip, hard to handle a camera when someones attacking you with a sabre... even if it is a wooden one.
