Anchoring Yourself to the Zone
Nearly every person has experienced being in “the zone,” that place we reach in our minds when our best fencing happens seamlessly.
Adventure to the Lime Sink: Part 4
He was beginning to understand why the Lime Sink was so hard to find.
How I Connect Colors with the Three Types of Fighters
I don’t believe that any of the three types of fighters are better than one or the other. I believe that they are merely three different ways of approaching the art of fencing. But now that the general idea of the theory has been covered, let me explain how color comes into play
How to Analyze a Fight
Learning to analyze a fight is a crucial skill for every fencer. We can all benefit from breaking a fight down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Adventure to the Lime Sink: Part 3
Now Bush Mill wasn’t much of a village, but it suited Kane’s goal to travel with little effort. It got its name for the mill that ran with the steady stream. The rest of the buildings just cropped up overtime, filling in the necessities of those who lived there until it got its name on the map. It was quaint. Nice.
Kane couldn’t imagine living in Bush Mill.
Don’t Miss Out on a Valuable Opportunity
Every three weeks you have an opportunity to dedicate time towards your own goals, along side your fellow fighters. Do you take full advantage of it?

Adventure to the Lime Sink: Part 2
In the depths of Woodland resides a place that is only rumored of by outsiders. A place of magic ruled by the Fey, with a queen as beautiful and as fickle as nature herself. The Fairy Glen.
Starting Your Own Study
In art, a Study is a drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a more elaborate piece. Studies are often used to understand the problems involved and to understand a particular skill or subject in more detail. In this Woodland Watch, we can apply that skill to fencing.
Adventure to the Lime Sink: Part 1
Off a well hidden branch of a river are secret Limestone caves. Very few know its location and even fewer can navigate the paths there. It’s said it takes the luck of the fey to find it. A secret haven to those in greatest need. Also a wonderful place to have adventures that border on the otherworldly.
Activities That Can Help Get You Out of a Slump
We’ve all been there. We fall into a slump in our fencing and we don’t know how to get out of it or how to push our fencing skill forward. Luckily, slumps are just temporary challenges we can work through.
Creating a Mind Map
In this weeks Woodland Watch, I want to share a helpful technique to organize your thoughts and is a great exercise for your fencing journal. It’s called Mind Mapping.
Training with My Tyros
Apprenticing to Kane Driscol requires an acceptance of the unorthodox. In the moment, students may not know what use certain activities hold, but you always know there is something to be learned.
Let’s Talk About Fencing
A very simple method of training and learning more about fencing is often overlooked: talking. When we talk about fencing we share and learn together. We should be doing it more.
