<span style>Last week we had a great turnout and lots of fun with the bear pit, along with regular one-on-one practice. This week we'll run a saber/ single-handed weapons bearpit near the end of practice (off-handed saber?), so come promptly at 2, get in some good training, and then try something new. </span>We'll have some teaching on saber fighting for those who haven't done this form before.<br style>
<br style>
<span style>Marshals in training, this week we'll be learning about marshaling authorization fights. <br>Fighters, this would be a great week to try to authorize a new form, or reauthorize if your card is expiring. </span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
