The fight starts before the armor, before you pick up your stick, and before you step onto the field. It begins with an individual that is devoted to himself and understands the gravity of taking up arms against his fellow man.

A students work is never finished. The lineage I uphold requires nothing less than the best. Being the most junior member I must work the hardest to impress my brothers and learn from them all that I can so that I may take my place beside them when the time comes. For now my obsession is the focus I put into my training. Repetition, fitness, and focus. Oh how I need that focus.

I've a small side project in mind. Compiling a book for newcomers to flip through with pictures and basic rules of what our combat is and how to protect yourself. Your armor can look like crap, its important you get out there.


Event update: When fighting with An Tir at Estrella I won an Oleander to hang on my belt.

Welcome to this factory of fame, this outrageous calamity of rattan. In An Tir this isn't fighting it's school for heroes. If it isn't hard, if you can still see straight, then you haven't begun to push yourself past those limitations to exceed even those greater that stand before you. Get some or get out.

Returned home this weekend from my kingdoms premiere fighting event consisting of eight erics, each with twenty fighters, formatted round robin. A couple of things made themselves quite clear. There is a difference between power needed in shots at practice and in tournaments, endurance becomes a huge factor in later rounds, I would rather pass out that drop out of a tourney because I'm tired, and I need more follow through on my shots. Good times, back to the grindstone I go.
