Lesson

I really want controlling the distance well in bout 1 and 4. In the first I was following and looking for opportunities instead of trying to create opportunities. In the 4th I was following the opponent's  pace. Mid way though I changed up my pace and took control of the initiative, I then reverted to the distance and speed I like. He was hitting me in my preparation as my first step was too big, as I was rushing.  I started to go more direct while setting up that I woudl go for a broken time attack. they set him up for simple actions.

Lesson

Stretch: Splits

Pretty tired today. Really just focused on staying relaxed. In the first bout I messed around too much and my distance was all wrong leaving me open to simple attacks.

Pretty happy with the last bouts. I was focusing on taking over the attack and then finishing to different line, flank, over the shoulder, direct to chest. I mixed that up with step in invitation where I was looking for the parry.

Lesson

I always rush the last bout, what with having a train to catch. I was also messing around in general. in the last two bouts.

The second bout I need to get into my distance and take away his opportunities to attack.

1500+ workout

I just realized I've recorded 1500 workout or there or there about. I suppose there is something to be said for consistency.

Fenced well, nice relaxed action. From the third bout onwards I was really sucking air and felt like vomiting. Not sure if it was the heating, the exertion or a stomach bug.
