Easy post to write today...

I'm simply linking to Roland's notes on practice from his blog, Terminal City Duellist.

I'll keep my commentary out; Roland's put in a lot of thought to this and writes it out very well.

I will re-mention something that bares repeating. Freeplay, while an opportunity to let loose (it is freeplay), is also the end check on your solo and partnered practice. This is where you see whether you can put into real use what you've been practicing.

So, make sure you check in regularly during your free play.

Thanks Roland!
