- I finally am starting to feel like a mid-range short-blade-fighter.
- Giaratas are hard. See the below picture and text for details.
- I'm getting better at changing from "I'm practicing!" into "I'm trying hard to win!" at will.
- I need to use my short sword to push into their sword more, when I am doing opposition. Many people are stronger than me, so I need to compensate with better technique.

Below is described my Problems with Giaratas.
My art continues to be fantastic.
This is a top-view again.
Of both Weak Under Strong into a thrust,
and of a giarata.
The issue here is the angle of the shoulder, when entering into the thrust at the top of the Spanish Circle, or after performing the void from a giarata. I need that particular body-angle, but in order to land my tip at that body angle I need to bend my shoulder in a way that I'm not sure it actually bends. I'll try working flexibility for a while, but I might need to consider other options.
