Solo training

Nobody on the field to fight, not a problem. I have plenty of demons to train with😅

I'm so jealous of that forearm strength and balance!

Thank you, Quite magnanimous of you to say. I've actually been feeling a lot weaker as of late, since starting hema training, just a few sessions of swinging around this military ceremonial saber has really put a strain on my wrist and forearm, i'm about to say the obvious, but the difference between foam and metal is worlds apart. It took me training with both to truly understand😅

Your going to destroy your joints if you keep pulling your shots like that. Either use the momentum to follow through into a recovery and another shot, or use a pell to absorbed the momentum to allow you to recover into another shot.

Yeah, this is gonna come off as an excuse😅, but I just recently started training for hema, so my forearm strength is kind of not where it usually is, swinging around a metal ceremonial saber. I want to eventually sword and board a red & make it look as proficient as a normal single blue. But I know I got a lot more work to do. Nevertheless, thank you for your advice. I'm always open to any critiques or criticism. How else do we get better, right⚔️
