SHARED SWORD PRACTICE by Jeannette

LEARN THE MOVEMENT BEHIND THE SWORD

Sword movement often comes down to surprisingly small details: a different step, a looser wrist or a change in timing and alignment. I usually practise with a staff or training stick rather than an actual sword. The weapon may change, but the principles of flow, coordination and controlled movement remain the same.

In the Sword Journal, I share what I discover through beginner friendly tutorials, practical tips and the occasional lesson I only notice when I watch myself back on video.

INSIDE THE SWORD JOURNAL

MOVEMENT BREAKDOWNS

Step by step breakdowns that make complex staff and sword-inspired movements easier to understand and practise.

SMALL DETAILS, BIG DIFFERENCE

Footwork, grip, timing and weapon alignment. Often it’s the smallest adjustment that makes a movement suddenly work.

NOTES FROM MY own PRACTICE

What worked, what didn’t and what I only noticed after watching myself back on video.

EXTRA TIPS & NEW IDEAS

Additional tips from the tutorials, mobility exercises and new ideas worth trying in your own movement practice.

No spam. No algorithms. Just practice.

WHY I SHARE MY PRACTICE

I’ve been exploring sword-inspired movement for years, usually with a staff or training stick. But I’m still learning every time I pick one up.

Breaking movements down for tutorials has made me look more closely at my own technique too. Sometimes I only notice what I could improve when I watch myself back on video.

So this isn’t about perfection. It’s about practising, noticing the small details and getting a little better each time.
