after-action report: two weeks of Kenosha practice, and a hiatus
Kenosha, 4 March: Dycon, Danelle, me. Felt out of sync and it showed: sloppy feet and dead arm. Poor focus (not helped by non-fighting distractions). No real learnings, but still better than not going at all.
Kenosha, 11 March: Luca of Windhaven, me. Nearly cancelled when Ana's migraine and Dycon's knee pulled them out for the evening, especially since I was dealing with both a weather migraine and a severe flareup of tendinitis in the right shoulder and wrist. Having a visitor kept me honest... The shoulder didn't mind fighting singlesword right, though I had to rest the wrist on occasion. But if I'm going to play Spanish style, I have to fully commit to the highest line or the arm gives out really, really quickly. Would also have to speed up my hilt defense. Fun fights, I think I taught a couple of useful things, and he seemed to have had fun in the match.
As of 12 March all practices, meetings, events, etc. in the two Kingdoms are suspended for the month because of the pandemic. We'll see what April brings... EDIT: April will bring another month of hiatus. May is TBD. Sigh. FURTHER EDIT: May and June cancelled as well.
