As I suited up on Thursday, Sior Murchad, walked in. I don't think he has been out to anything since about Ursulmas last year. Making it a just about 1 year hiatus.
He suited up and the two of us opened practice with a sparring session for ~15 minutes before Amish started the drills.
The man at arms showed up after we had finished the sparring and came over and said in a somewhat surprised voice, oh you have been fighting already? To which another fighter said, yeah they were going at it hard for about 15 minutes. I jockingly showed Donnan the color of Murchad's and my belts.
Somewhat jockingly anyhow. The point is really if you like this game we play, come and do it. Get as much out of practice as you can. Stick with it and work at it. Something he needs to remeber is how much time and effort both Murchad and myself have but into fighting, just how long we have been doing it.
In the end I won't bust his chops too much for not getting as much out of practice as he could. He shows up consistently and works on his game. Lots of guys show up hap hazardly. The only thing he could really use is more stamina. He has the desire to fight and definetely wants to get better, but he simply lacks the conditioning to fight more than a couple of fights in a row.
My practice was pretty good. Had some short sparring sessions with Donnan and another long session with Murchad, both of us being too stubborn to quit when we are tired or sore and then had a decent session with Amish.
Skill sessions this week were picked up by the baronial champion, Amish. After he had watched some of what Raoukinn had posted he decided he wanted to work on some shield strengths and weaknesses as discussed by Count Gemini.
In total we had: Myself, Amish, Donnan, Murchad, and McDuff in armor fighting and a couple of others: Angus and Darien doing slow work due to injuries or broken armor.
I actually managed to video some of the practice as well, but the weekend was far too busy to really get anytime to watch it.
