Oh yeah, got another bleeding wound at escrima tonight

Knuckle hits are the most fucking annoying things because like the skin can never rest directly over a joint so it takes forever to fully heal over but alas they are also the most common, stings every time I wash my hands

Not my fault though, was helping someone below me learn the double roof block and he caught my hand instead of my stick, which like shit happens that's fair enough, took me ages to get comfortable with the double roof myself

Spent most of the class practicing the split power response to an overhead strike though which like cool, I like that one, outside variation especially feels very smooth and natural, inside it's harder but I got it down more quickly than I expected to be honest

You can make anything whumpy if you try hard enough

This is for a sword fighting character I'm auditioning for. She's under threat of death if she can't charisma her way out if the situation.

Maybe Shadowheart and I could practice escrima together. And spar a little. And and and…

my Tito demonstrating escrima (arnis)

My Tito back in Cebu explaining the move set for Escrima stick-fighting. He did say hes a bit rusty but was letting me know fundamentals so I have a better idea of how Riz the werehorse fights.

NOTHING is more embarrassing than grabbing the mouth guard that’s too big for your mouth before sparring, it feels like wearing a really bad set of grillz and being a denture-bound old man at the exact same time

Reproduction of a 15th Century "Mandoble Toledo", sometimes called a Montante, by Artesanía Tradicional Toledana. Very unique hilt.
