Drills and Basics

with Sabina Storberg

Welcome to Drills and Basics – the foundation of the WeaponUP movement and your personal movement lab. This ever-growing series is designed to break down the essential sword drills, postures, and transitions that form the heart of WeaponUP. With 24 bite-sized videos and more on the way, this series is a space for you to build precision, strength, coordination, and creative expression—one rep at a time. Whether you’re brand new to the sword or deepening your flow, Drills and Basics gives you the tools to understand and embody each movement. You’ll find: • A warm-up and cool-down to begin and end your practice with care • A daily Flower Practice Medley to build grace, control, and fluidity • Clear, focused tutorials on the core drills and stances that make up our practice We encourage you to treat this space like a movement lab—a place to experiment, refine your form, and create your own flows. Stack a warm-up, a few drills, and a cooldown to build your own mini-session. Come back to these videos as often as needed—repetition is where the transformation happens. This series is meant to grow with you. As WeaponUP evolves, new movements and refinements will be added here to support your journey from foundational to fierce.
