The session began with a warm up from Alisa with some of the newer members learning the pain in the forearms that the warmups can sometimes be.

Each of the senior members took the group through a basic element each as we continue to make our way through the Basic Competencies that the society has adopted. With everyone coming through unscathed Chris took us through a few of the elements and the assocoated strictures they build in a fight and had the group passoing through a single phase of unarmed combat before the break.

Returning, refreshed and ready for action the group split into three sections. Two groups preparing for Stevenage went away and continued with rehersals, ready for next weeks dressed rehearsal. The third group continued with sword skills passing through the basic movements to bring the two new members up to speed as fast as possible as the season will soon be upon us.

Afterwards a good few of the members went off for a coffee and relax.
