Regardless of what kind of combat you're in, you always have two jobs
Job 1 is easy. Wild swings can easily knock aside opponent's attacks but they leave you poorly able to deliver a strike of your own (or defend yourself from your opponent's second strike). That is, Job 2 may not be easily done.
In your practice always be sure that you're keeping both of your jobs in mind.

This past weekend I taught two workshops in Taipei: Two Swords on Saturday and Marozzo's Sword in Two Hands on Sunday, six hours each day.

A week of teaching in Taiwan since the Taipei intensive: a workshop at Cold Steel Lab in Taichung, two workshops at the CHIMEI Museum in Tainan, a combat workshop in Kaohsiung, and a day off trying a little surfing.

Five intense days teaching our Level 1 Duello Armizare Instructor Intensive in Taipei: eleven students, ten hours a day, and a lot of rapier, longsword, wrestling, and teaching methodology, all across a language barrier.

News from the road: a weekend of teaching in Beijing, our first instructor intensive in Asia, and where I'll be teaching across Taiwan and the Philippines over the coming weeks.
