Ranch Day 4

Today was a lot of listening to information. Everyone was super busy so I basically was given a lot of Fighting homework to complete. It was interesting to me to receive information from homework and then apply it to actual "combat"

Bad News: I got a little overwhelmed today. I was feeling a tad down because I wanted so badly to be able to complete all of the "Simple Cracks" successfully but for some reason (even though I really do see what I'm doing wrong) I couldn't get my body to comply with orders! This happens a lot and I can onlt hope that over time, with continual practicing of the Delongis Method, it'll improve. But for now, it sucks. Luckily I have more day to take it all in. I just got to stop myself sometimes and remind myself that I've come a long way since I began whip cracking or even since I got to the Ranch in general.

Good News: I have purchase my very first Shiny!!! In a few days time, on my home doorstep, a beautiful Spadoon, or Loop Hilt Back Sword, will be arriving. I can't wait. It's beautiful, elegant, yet "deadly".  LIIIKKKEEE Me! haha. It's a fantastic piece and will allow me to practice and apply the methods I have been learning on the Ranch.


Tomorrow Anthony says we will continue whip work and also move on to two handed Broadsword and Quarter Staff with the potential of adding in a little Rapier and Dagger. AWESOME! I really can't wait!

For now, I need to rest up because tomorrow is going to be action packed.

Until Next Time,
