Fighter Practice
Had a pretty decent fighter practice last night. I was able to teach a bit to Anders and Tancred, as well as showing some basic shot stuff to HE Melisende. I was able to get in a bit of defensive practice, which is why I like going, it affords me a chance to block and not retaliate.
My main problem seems to be a mental block at this point with a heater shield. For some reason unknown to me at the present time, I feel I am under protected with a heater and I leave myself open to all sorts of nastiness. I need to get my wooden heater strapped and at the very least start doing pell work with it so I can develop a feeling of being used to it. It is a 8 year struggle between me and that damned shield, I will master that hunk of wood if it’s the last thing I do.
I keep skipping workouts. I am not sure what happened to me, but I am not sleeping for shit lately. I cannot fall asleep until late and then 5am comes and I cannot seem to drag myself out of bed. Kindra and I are wondering if we are putting to much pressure on ourselves about it and should get let this all happen naturally.
I also need to start start doing my pell workout every night. I would like to get to where I can do the whole routine (800 shots total), and then start to add in some of my own such as thrusts and verticle slot shots. I think this would help me to develop speed and stamina to a point that I want to be at.
