Organization
Warm-up: dynamic stretches
Slow: Helm off slow work
Active Warm-up: First blood line drill
Drill Segment: Partner and line
Endurance: Bear Pit
Drill ideas
LD = Line Drill
PD = Partner Drill
Shield position (LD)
Pig throws 6 consecutive head shots
Attacker throws onside leg to offside head
Modifcation: Attacker throws a single shot after the 6th blow is thrown.
Concept: Pig won't know where to defend. I feel in the last incarnation even if we threw legg offside head, we still knew those two shots were coming.
Line can call shield position to remind the Pig.
Opening Gambit Leg Strike (LD)
3 shot combo. Once slow, Once fast
1: Strike to foul weapon
2: Strike to offside
3: Strike to onside leg, snap or wrap.
Sword Foot Work (PD)
Partners stand square to each other. Palms raised and facing each other at chest height, they suspend a sword, parallel to the ground, between them.
Lead: takes steps
Follower: maintains position
Do not let the sword fall.
Sustained Strike (PD)
Attacker throws a 6+ combination, defender defends. After a few rounds are complete fighters discuss and then switch places

Elbow
Put on the armor and swung my stick a fair bit on Sunday. Fought through several line drills and stuck it out to the end of the bear pit. There was a few times my forearm was sore, but the elbow seemed to do ok.
I took ibuprofen before and after as well as wore my tennis elbow strap. It was pretty stiff before I went to bed, but really most of me was.
Today it is not perfect, but it is doing not too badly. Certainly better than a few weeks ago when I threw too many shots on the pell pole at practice.
We shall see how it goes this week.
Practice this week will be a slightly different format after listening to how Ramsgaard runs there we thought we would look to more fully adopt a similar system. One of the parts we liked was the inclusivemess of it. I personally was a fan of the communication and learning to watch fighting aspect.
One of the biggest changes will be switch up who "runs" practice. Week one of this format has fallen to me. So I will need to come up with some drills to run, which I may write about here.
May crown challenge. Day 5: Ran to the train this morning. ~3km ~17mins

November is here.
End of October and the beginning of November. It has been a busy past couple of weeks.
With the sale of BPs assets to Apache and the deal finalized I found myself approaching the day where I would switch companies. November first was the start day, but the week before was busy finalizing some work projects and lunches.
I didn't get out to the gym very much over this period and unfortunately the Gold's I was using is half way across the city and not really in range to get a lunch time workout in. That left this week fairly light in terms of activity, but large in calories due to excess Halloween candy.
I did get a fair amount of fighting in during the week leading up to Halloween. The club did demos for Heritage Park in Calgary, and I helped organize the heavy combat aspect. We didn't fight a tonne, but we fought four days in a row and a decent amount more nights.
On a positive note the new building I am in has a fairly extensive facility in the basement. It is a little cramped but in reality it is probably better equipped than the Gold's I was using. I would say overall it has less equipment, ie less flat benches, one cage, one bench station, but it has a wider variety. Jump ropes, olympic lifting station, 35# weights. ( I always hated that Gold's didn't have 35# weights )
So I signed up at the new gym and I figure I can put in a short 30 minute workout before work, more on that in a bit.
November does bring about the 200 swing challenge, which is sponsored by a KB guy in town over facebook. The basic concept is to add 200 Kettlebell swings to your day over and above your regular training. Typically these are completed in 10 one minute rounds with 20 swings per round.
November 1: 100 20kg Two handed swings 100 16kg one handed swings. 10 minutes
November 2: 16kg x10@, 16kg x10@, 20kg x20, 20kg x20, 24kg x20,16kg x10@, 24kg x20, 20kg x20 16kg x10@, 20kg x10: 10 mins (16s are One handed swings, 20 and 24 are two handed)
November 3: 20kg x20,20kg x20, 20kg x20, 20kg x10@, 20kg x10@, 16kg x10@, 16kg x20, 24kg x20, 16kg x10@, 20kg x20. 10 mins (x20s are two handed x10@are one handed per side)
November 4: x10 16kg. sets of 20.
November 5: 24kg 24kg 24kg 24kg 24kg 24kg 20kg 20kg 24kg 20kg. No 16s today.
November 1 - 3 were pretty slow apart from the swings. I did a TRX circuit on the Monday I believe which was pretty good.
November 4: I signed up for the gym and did a "Magic 50" routine. Warmed up on a concept 2. Did 5 sets of 30-30, followed by a circuit of pushups and BW lunges. Then moved on with a 16kg bell did a magic 50, and did 7 burpees all the way through instead of 10, cause they kick my ass. Apart from the occasional challenge I suspect Infinite Intensity needs to go away due to time constraints. Hit practice in the evening and had a pretty good time, worked hard.
November 5: 30 minute workout in the morning. 5x5 deadlifts, then a superset 3 x10 of bench and DB rows. Hip Dominant, Horz push and pull. Then a quick core circuit. 2 rounds of 60s planks, x20 mountain climbers and x5 roll outs.

Drills
Drills at practice
Last nights drills.
A) Flat snap followed by a step to the left with an off body head.
B) Throw a show and laterally move. Alternate who is throwing/moving. Repeat on the way back
Other drills
A) Flat snap followed by off body leg
Pell Drills I am working on
A) Leg shot, upwards return to a flat snap
B) Punch to off body, move to flat snap, Stepping to rotate around pole
C) Standard 6 drill
D) Flat Snap
E) Double Tap Flat Snap with lateral step
Thoughts on practice last night
I was pretty wiped going in. The hall was very warm as well. I was not at a peek physical space or a peek mental space due to these factors.
Generally the round shield was OK all things given.
Heater shield was ok, but I may be rotating the point to far out, exposing my legs.
Some discussion on planes of attack and stepping past people.
