Alrighty, hopefully you'll get a chance to swing some steel soon! I'll put this up tonight so those of you whose weekends are actually on the weekend can get an early start.

The objective here was to involve some movement, so you'll begin facing away from the target, and a full passing step distant.
Turn, cut, make a triangle step, and cut. The whole sequence should be fluid with no stopping.
Golf clap if you manage to spear the remnant target bits as I failed to do in both examples.

Check your six.

https://youtu.be/38frHzU_SEc so upon closer inspection of my first video I didn't cut the top bottle. So here's a complete cut. And that means theowl has the honor of posting a new cut on Feb 27.

I think everyone's submissions for the last round are in? Either way, here's this.

True edge zwerchhau towards the right, and per Taylor's request, downward left with your dagger or comparable off hand weapon.

Don't forget to strike a pose.

I do love the hand-axe combo! Need a find one of my own.
