Weekly Livestream now in Beta

One of the most difficult parts of pursuing mastery of an art is holding yourself accountable to your own training and growth. So that’s why Greg and I are going to beta a new weekly livestream.

For at least the next four Sundays at 11:00 am PST we’ll be online and welcoming the members of the HEMA community from around the world. The goal of these sessions is to:

1. Share training goals.

Telling someone else your goals can be one of the most effective accountability tools.

2. Check in on progress toward those goals.

Like our yearly 30-for-30 Swordplay Challenge we want to offer a forum where you can shout out your successes and work through your blocks.

3. Answer training & technical questions.

We’ll be there, sword in hand, to answer technical questions and give advice on how to train and practice effectively. If you have questions about Duello.TV content or from other sources, bring them along.

Our first session is this Sunday (the 20th). Whether you’re a Duello.TV subscriber, an Italian Swordplay practitioner, or from a completely different school and art, you are welcome to join us. There’s no cost and no barrier to participation—it’s open to everyone. If all goes well we’re planning to expand future online interaction to guide students taking specific courses.

Simply follow this link at 11:00 am PST on Sunday, November 20 and you’ll be able to see us live and join in by chat.

See you there!

Fast forward 20 years and now I use that buddy system in nearly every part of my life.

How to Keep a Training Journal

For many years I have kept a training journal. This is a log book of personal practice goals, training plans, progress toward those goals, and a ticker tape of general thoughts, comments, struggles, and successes. At its simplest the journal is a way of keeping my training front-of-mind and it helps me keep continuity from session to session.
