Saturday morning I travelled out to Bauska to hold a full day WMA seminar. It was a clear morning fith bright sunshine and glistening snow everywhere.

In Bauska we had gathered a group of 12 Young men and women who where eager to get started (The training hall was more than a little chilly) We started out with our warmup routine (Yes lots of sit-ups and push-ups) and some stretching. After that we filled the morning session with longsword poste, stepping drills and striking exercizes, finishing of with a few abrazare (wrestling) plays.

On our way to lunch someone realized that the snow was perfect for snowballs wich naturally escalated to a full scale snowball war, everyone against the Swede.

The afternoon we worked on the elephant plays and did a bit of wrestling (because some of my students kept asking for it). We also spent a lot of time talking about the segno and the chivalric virtues and how you can adopt the principles taught in the segno to everyday life.

After a full day of playing we drove back to Riga exhausted but very happy!
