Nothing invigorates me more than early morning sword fighting.

This morning was no different. Russell came over from the Mesa area and joined us. He specializes in Filipino Martial Arts, and it is always fun to spar with him.

I’ve included sparing clips below with each of us taking on Greg, the Sword Master. I tell you, he never ceases to amaze me with his speed and agility.

Today’s focus was conserving energy, clearing the mind of outside thought and following through with attacks, always being prepared for the after blow.

60 minutes of intense exercise . . .

I love sword fighting . . . did I say that already?!
