I started taking longsword fencing lessons a few months ago to get stronger and become more athletic and I’m really enjoying them! BUT, I have a big problem actually performing some of the movements. I understand the concept but have trouble getting my body to follow through. Does anyone have any suggestions for improving body awareness? I’ve started doing some simple yoga moves, but I’m wondering if there are some other techniques I can try? Thanks!

I would say do the moves slowly so you can get used to them and have time to think for each part of the move. 

Yoga is a good way to increase general body awareness, as is dance.

I love knitting! It’s a really great hobby to keep your hands busy and you can make it as complex or as simple as you like - have fun and don’t get discouraged by the hiccups you’ll run into along the way :)

yeah I am already enjoying having something to do with my hands, thats one of the reasons I wanted to learn! And thanks, I think it will be fun :D I’m already thinking of more complicated projects to tackle so I am sure there will be hiccups lol!
