Lessons from Tuesday practice...
I'm not getting younger...but the younger are getting better. Sigh
So, when you knee is twingy...and your elbow is sore...you are not going to be able to fight your best game. So, you need to fight a smarter game. Standing in extension range of your opponent is not a smarter game. You yell at people about doing that...don't do it yourself.
Took awhile, but I started figuring it out. I still really need to work on my sword parrying skills (maybe time to put away my dagger...it's not like I'm using it properly anyways). Relying on speed shots is going to get me killed by someone who's figured out how to parry and counter attack...so...turn the speed shots into a ruse and use their automatic counter against them (that was actually working...go figure)
Still so much to still figure out...so much room to get better. Only so much time before my body just gives up on me and starts working against me (even though I think it already has started that...damn you knee)
