After much delay I'm going to restart the project that I had initially kicked off as a one shot attempt to get a training manual built of all the things I knew. As it turns out, that's way too damn much to write down in one go. I got as far as a bunch of basics, some intermediate skills, a few weapon specific advanced things... and then I was something like 60 pages in. I decided at that point to cut myself off so that I could actually finish. The idea was to then start adding additional bits and pieces as addendums. The first one was going to be a list of drills that I've used over the past 10 years to teach people different bits and pieces of body mechanics. So that will be coming soon. I'll set it up as one or more posts and also load it into the google doc for the book of rift which you can get to here. Next up I'm going to start in on the florentine manual since several people have been asking me to teach them and I've been spread a bit too thin to really do a good job of that.
I'll note, now that I have a blog to do so, that if there are any people out there who are some kind of artist or can process text well to proof read, all of the stuff I've written so far is in bad need of visuals and proof-reading. I suspect by the time I get done with the the next two addendums that will remain the case. So... if you are one of those people and you would like to help please get in touch.
I've spent some thought on possibly also making video recordings of the stuff I've developed for training so far. I've got a volunteer for helping me with that... I just have to find the time to actually invest in it. So perhaps that will be coming sometime in February since this and next month will be kind of frantic for me.
Finally, Merry Christmas (to anyone who celebrates).
