Holidays and HoHos

Brief note about Monday Practice. Need to continue cardio and weight training after the holiday season as well as yoga w/ stretching to improve flexibility. Christmas tum is slowing me down a bit. Took my time last night to focus on quality fights and head space. Fighting planned sets using current skills to the best of my ability. Actualized a few areas needing improvement such as fighting to the skill level of my opponent, improper sword blocks, and choppy flow. A senior squire had me point out the errors while watching other fights to better understand the reasons behind some of the actions I've imitating and how to survive in different sparring situations.

Revised Practice Schedule:

Mondays: Learning technique.
Tuesday and Wed:Theory, philosophy, fundamentals and light technique.
Thursdays: Competitive focus

At Home: *Flexibility, fitness, weight training
*Conditioning for strength and stamina
*Flexibility both mental and physical
*Fluid Movement
