Bouts:

1. B 11-15

I controller the bout reasonably well but need to work on the following.

• A little more patience. Opponent is rather and can often get a stop hit if I do a long attacks. That said I was against the clock as I needed to catch a train.
• Need to be more active as we jockey for position. He has a good long attack, but he needs time to set it up. I need to disrupt his set up with more attacks on his blade intersperced with stepping in early. Even if I don't score on those attempts it will affect his confidence in his actions.

The Wednesday evening session is always a rush for me. It starts later and after footwork and a lesson I don't have much time for bouting.
