Almost need a new sword. Made the last one at the end of November. Got a solid 2 months out of it, but it is starting to fray pretty badly now.
Took me a little while to get around to decompressing last practice. Had pretty good success with a 2 shot combo: Head, leg. Never been my strongest shot, but probably cause I don't throw it very much. I will continue to work it into my routine. I watched some of our very high echelon fighters throw it with fire. The other aspect from last practice was to throw a shot into my opponents sword while closing to throw a deep wrap.
Yes staying at range and defensive, and timing shots is certainly my strong suit, I should still be able to jump in and unload a salvo and jump out with a fair degree of certainty that I won't die.
Had an excellent degree of success against a left hander by faking up to their top shield side and then throwing a leg blow against their sword side.
Tonight working on more of the same thing.
- Patience: Range/timing
- Holding defense while attacking (Especially on wraps)
- Head to leg, same side throw.
