She repeats his words in her head "Your 'ready stance' has your sword about waist level, point up, elbow slightly bent and somewhat close to your side. Now, you thrust the point down on your left side, until the pommel is at chest height and the point a fair bit below your waist. Hold it steady at this point, and you'll catch the slash easily. Now, when you take a hit, take the shock through into your knees. Stay flexible, and absorb the energy." She repeats this several times then takes the wooden sword and leveled it 'bout waist level.She remember her horse back riding lessons and adjusted her elbow so it was just about right. She then took the 'sword' and thrusted it so the 'pommel' was at her waist and the point below her waist. She imagined a slash and step back a few feet. She did this over and over again before she thought is was better. She would then see what she had done wrong before practing the other move.
