A Spare Moment?

Finally a spare moment to write my blog!

Due to one member having family business to attend to we have delayed the canoe trip. Sadly, this delay may stretch to August or longer.

I've been thinking a lot about trying to out maneuver my opponents when sparring and parrying/deflecting in place of blocking. Blocking dissipates energy into both parties and forcing recovery time. On the other hand, if I deflect I have no recovery time while they do.
Ultimately my goal is to get their back either by getting behind or, preferably, by spinning them.
I'm really looking forward to my next sparring matches to try out some new techniques.

I'll write more tomorrow when I have more time.
