Thanks, I am about to start sparring again. Finally feel ready. It's weird, if I slip I can feel it but I don't feel as if it's a risk. Like, I have full strength and range of motion again. This was old footage though. From my lack of competition footage lately, I had to find something to upload 😆
@@BachataKnight ah understandable! Old footage or new; can’t go wrong with some good ol armored combat. Looking forward to seeing how things go once you’re back at it!
i noticed that you're training outside in nature, do you have an opinion on whether competing should be done indoors or outdoors? I've had knights not compete outside because they didn't want to get dirty or deal with the heat, I've also witnessed knights back out of fighting inside due to not wanting to fall on concrete. also, had both sides complain about shoe sole "fairness" on the different surfaces
I love outside more, just for being outside. I prefer grass. Good or bad weather doesn't matter to me. I've had plenty of fights in the rain. Although I do hate how the footing gets so slippery in the rain and mud. I also like to use it as an advantage against people who are struggling with slippery footing more than me lol. I have had one time when I sat out almost the whole day because it was 90⁰ in the sun. I've also had horrible days feeling too cold outside. On the other hand, plenty of indoor venues can be just as bad or worse with the heat. Indoor is also almost always better footing than outdoors at least. Even compared to grass. And I like how we can have the best of both worlds like at Carnage where it's inside and the footing is actually packed dirt. I do agree with people who don't like to fall on concrete, especially for the risk of head injuries. I threw a guy at the first arnold (no mats, just concrete) and he hit the concrete so hard with the back of his helmet. It was a bad experience. I will usually fight in or on whatever, but other than the actual head injury of concrete, I think some people just want things to be too perfect. I doubt in an actual skirmish in 1500 anyone had a choice, they just did it lol
Nice to see you’re back at it! Hope everything is healed up well!
