Rise before the sun, dress, and contemplate the day’s readings from The Book of Circles. Breakfast of fresh water and fruits. No meat before mid-day. Run around the perimeter of camp three times. No shoes. Begin training exercises with students. Progress through each of the day's strikes until mid-day. Hearty lunch and group reading of the day's Book of Circles studies. Afternoon: sparring exercises and official duels to rank the students. Evening meal at sundown. Light, but with ample wine, followed by several hours quiet rumination.
