Thursday Practice Report

First bit - some notes on practice. It was probably the best practice I have had in a long time, in terms of developing my game, so I need to note things down.

• Remembering to lean back until I am in measure and I have opposition and I lean forward, as per Capo Ferro, makes a HUGE difference.
• Placing my tip "under" someone's hilt is fantastic. It means that, by twitching, I can force them to commit one way or another and then cavazione to the other side. Note that "under" just means "on the other side of their hilt from their body", in order to force them to make the afore-mentioned choice.
• Envelopment is pretty great. I finally feel like I understand how to deal with opponents in a low-center guard.
• People are learning to deal with the hard up-parry with my dagger - that makes me happy.
• From Fabris 60, a yielding-around outside line shot accompanied by a dagger-parry to trap their sword is pretty cool.
• I need to work on point control - there were many times where I just straight-up missed my target, or I got the quillon-lock on their sword that I wanted but couldn't bring my point home due to my opponent's body voids.
• Sweet mercy I fought a lot. Ow, ow, ow.

After filling out links and grabbing appropriate images, I will post about the new thing I was doing. It's pretty cool, and I'm excited to share it.
