"Yeah, like this."
Demonstrating the sword stance, I had Melina Franklin repeat my motions. After a while, I instructed her to practice, and she complied, swinging the sword over and over again, in the manner I taught her to.
"That's right! Practice makes perfect, so keep swinging that sword. Do it over and over again until your body memorizes the movement…until you can do it automatically, without thinking. Practice until it becomes a natural reflex for you."
