Practice was good. We did two drills. One was a frozen opening defense drill and one was an endurance drill.
I believe fighting endurance is important, I sadly don't think this is going to help most people, simple because we might only do it once, or maybe once a month, certainly not enough to promote a beneficial energy system adaption.
I continue to work on my opening A-frame stance. Still have an opening down the slot. Susceptible to a deep slot and a thrust. Much less if I am paying attention instead of looking for openings.
Much more success when I am patient. I said there is a line between being aggressive enough that your opponent is flustered and being aggressive in a stupid manner.
Spent a little time fighting the man at arms. He has come a fair ways, although I would like to see him generate more power in some of his shots. I need to see what he is throwing on camera or through someone elses eyes, as I think it may be a mechanically unsound shot. It lands and can at times hit me clean, but it has almost no force on it.
Also I have sort of half picked up a pseduo squire, the man at arms has been exceptional towards her, offering her the use of his old armor so she can try if she wants to. She has A&S goals more than fighting goals though, so he may need to be less exuberent about getting her out there. Still it is good to see him willing to lend a hand and help someone out. I have witnessed this on numerous occasions with new fighters as well who are not someone with a bond to the family.
Forgot the video camera at home. Hope to get a new sword made this week as well as copious amounts of armor repair done on Sunday.
