To become a good fighter.

Practice was nice today. Lots of people and awesome weather.
Too bad I had a killer headache and I felt like the sun was trying to blind me....

Anyways, I'm at a point where I'm not sure what to do. Well... I kinda do, I wanna fight and get better at it. It's how to get there that I'm not sure. After a year and a half, I know how most basic shots work, I still need to get them perfectly, but at least my mind knows what's going on. I'm kinda at a crossroad. I have soooooo much stuff I need to work on but I know I can't work on all of them all at once.... but I want too. It's sorta like I was handed the keys to a castle but I can't reach the lock and I'm not sure how to get up there.
I need to work on:
- Speed of body.
- Speed of mind.
- Precision.
- Range.
- Angles.
- Being able to do smart things even if the left hand is not talking to the right hand.
- Clearing my mind before I fight.
- Shut my brain up when I'm fighting.

A lot of those are connected but if I bring attention to one thing, my dumbass brain forgets about the other things.

One thing that will help is if I get in better shape. I don't care about what I look like. A toned trainwreck is still a trainwreck, so I'm not doing it for looks. I'm doing it for speed and fighting efficiency. I won't look good in a bikini, but I'll shine in armour. We're fortunate enough to have Percival at our practice and he's one of the quickest guy in armour I've seen. I love training with him he's a great teacher. Body mechanics is a strenght of his and he gave me some good pointers and gave me a couple of exercises to do. It's gonna up my game a lot and might lower the number on my scale... I'll start those this week. I have a plan to incorporate this in The Berserker's gym class.

Last year was all about learning how to become a fighter.... this year will be about learning how to become a good fighter.

On the good side, my mind game is at it's best right now. I feel like nothing can discourage me. Not even failure.

Now to get ride of this headache....
