I managed to retain my extended arm much more. Additionally, I started using a different guard on the inside line that seems to work well.
I used the list from my previous post as a guide both as advantages to maintain, and as advantages to deny my opponent. I've noticed that sometimes it is possible to perform a disengage without my tip leaving the presence of my opponent, and I'm trying to do that more.
I also performed a pretty sweet bit of opposition where I pushed against my opponent's blade, and then as they went in I let my sword go weak, stepped to the side, and yielded around. If my point control had been better, it totally would have been awesome. As it stands, it was just okay.
Takeaways:
- Keep on keeping on with Defensive Advantages.
- Work on disengages that keep in-presence.
- Find options for when such a disengage isn't an option?
That's all I've got for the moment. At some point I should talk more about my own personal experiences heart rate, anxiety, and competition, but that day is not today.
