Improvising with a Broadsword

Improvising with a Broadsword a few years back. 

I'm using movements from the two Broadsword forms that I know, along with some other weapons basics and blended them to get this 'flow' up and down the room. If you practice Broadsword, give it a try. 

*Remember when improvising it does not have to be 'fancy'; The KISS theory!

The point of improvising is to get 'rapport' with the techniques in various directions and to keep it flowing in a variety of sequences.

One of the problems with forms is that techniques can get locked into a specific order. To be able to actually use the techniques they must be able to be preformed in any order and in any direction.
