Update...

...Because I can't think of a better title right now (and don't want to try)...

I had a good fencing lesson on Friday. We covered a lot of movement/footwork/parry applications (as opposed to just footwork drills or simple free-fencing without much guidance). Having some parameters and restrictions can really help focus the mental aspect. It's getting the brain to respond fast enough, and the body to respond to the brain, that I'm dealing with. So many possibilities with just three or four parries and a few attacks. I'm looking forward to getting back to Judo (and BJJ, Systema, and Escrima). I like to see what techniques and mindset I can apply across martial disciplines. Sometimes one thing at a time is best though, I suppose...

This past week's Carb Night was postponed until Sunday due to the Easter holiday. Good eatin'; my wife made mac & cheese with bread crumbs (to go along with the ham, lamb, and a host of other Easter staples), and I must say I fully participated. Later we ordered a pizza, had some colas, and man that was good. Back on the wagon this week, of course.

I picked-up a few cool new pieces for the blade collection this week (I found a collector that is liquidating a lot of his stuff), but I will save that for a separate "Knife Nut..." post, coming to this blog shortly, so check back soon.

Until then, White Belt Out
