There are some solo drills that Gladio will be covering this week:

How to use your thumb rather than shifting your hands for a quicker grip switch
Then, continuing the thumb switch into throwing a basic strike
Moving on from that into throwing strikes with offline steps both forward and backwards
Then, the process of Gathering: stepping into a cut, stepping back, and transitioning into a different strike
Combine all of those into a circle around a general area
Now try thrusting first, and then stepping back and circling around
And then a bit more quickly and aggressive
Then clear out a space for yourself and just practice swinging the sword around to different guard positions while turning, focusing on making it a nice smooth and unbroken series
