It took long enough for them to come up, but I have some nice stripes from doing cut & thrust with our new left-handed friend (new to CT – he’s done armored fighting before). All my bruises are on my upper right thigh and my right butt cheek. Apparently I have a blind spot…

On Wednesday, I helped the P1 group. I realized I’d forgotten a lot of terminology, so I was glad I had the practice.

I got to go to UWF fencing on Friday night. I worked with some new fencers and did some bouts with Nik and one of our older students.

Today I went to the park for SCA practice. Instead of rapier, I did a lot of cut and thrust (specifically MS I.33). That’s something else I haven’t been studying as well as I should! Nik and I worked with someone who has been doing rapier and armored combat for awhile but is new to CT. He’s a lefty and primarily and armored fighter, so I learned a lot from him.

I’m in kind of a slump, and I don’t really feel like going to practice, but doing CT seemed to help me a little bit. I love fencing, so this is really frustrating for me. 

Does anyone else deal with occasionally having trouble gearing up to participate in your hobbies?
