The Critical Hit guidance during our Round Robins has taken hold. More than one gut wrenching thrust, our head, shoulder and collarbone strike has left its toll.
Again, the theory of the guidance is simple. Hard touches to the torso and head are likely to mortally disable an opponent. Where as hard touches to the limbs will only disable that limb. Soft touches continue to amount to incrementally diminishing the opponent's ability to fight.
This week, we studied the references to the use of two swords against a single sword. Unfortunately we found that these studies do us no good when facing an opponent who ALSO has two swords. We found this out after our initial romps into the fantastic this weekend.
The main thing we came out of from the lesson was, if you ever find yourself in the renaissance facing a fencer who has two weapons, think twice about the contest, no pun intended.
