in a lot of pain today. at least it is somewhat subsided, seeing as i have a fencing lesson tonight and i really need to give it my all. the goal of this summer is to really get my fencing up to par for this coming season. i'll be starting and with the way i've been fencing, i won't last very long. both of my coaches (my club coach and my college coach-who goes to the same club that i do so i see him on a regular basis) know that i am trying my hardest to completely reshape my fencing style and know i can do it. i know i can do it, but it is hard to break nearly five years of fencing in the same manner. i keep falling back on bad habits like lunging on my toes, therefore throwing my balance off since i make my lunges into all or nothings. i also developed a weird way of prepping my actions low, which i guess i started doing to evade my opponent's blade, but when my timing is off, it ends up costing me.
