Friday night, Tassin, Gawin, and I (but not Ruairc, boo Ruairc and holiday work schedules) piled in to Gawin’s little shoe box on wheels and headed up to Dante’s house, the two of them staying awake by talking alternately about League of Legends and Skyrim, which apparently are what people do if they can’t fight.

Fabris 11/16/11 Leave a comment
Much like last week we fought warm up passes, fought some Fabris passes and then drilled. The drills were very similar to last week although we experimented some. We found that the attack where you drop the tip worked well enough coming in at roughly the center of mass because voiding requires a fairly […]
Saturday in the Salle Leave a comment

This past week I actually got out and ran for the first time since Pennsic. The foot endured it with little complaint, and let the rest of my body suffer from chronic slack-assitude. Not, in and of itself, notable, but it does mean it’s time to get back to training and kicking ass and taking […]
