I’m still so insanely pissed that one of the few characters they actually actually killed, one of them was my fucking favourite.
The worst part is if they tried to bring him back I’d be so pissed lmfaooo

🗣️YOU CAN FIND ME IN THE CLUB 🤺
Took the fresh fit to the club and had a few dances with my buddy Alex.
Full gear sparring is so different but so fun!?
I need to drill more, so many things I know what TO do but I was to busy thinking and not DOING.

Clipped this plant yesterday again to make 4 new top buds.
When it calms down and fluffs up after the stress of pruning I may do this one more time

This is from Fabris and a lot of his guards are super low hence why every day is leg day.

We call this passing under.
To complete the thrust I just need to lean forward.
Since this was target fencing I had to hit him in the face, if this was more serious, the blade would be two feet through the heart or lungs.
I’ve never been able to execute one as perfect as this since then.

I’ve posted a lot of action shots but this one by far is the most action shot ever lmfao
The only way I was beating these Mexican fencers was by using Fabris 😭🤌🏻
If you don’t know what I’m setting up, the next picture will show you.

Also I’m stripping all foliage and buds from the stems as they grow out so they focus on other shit instead of bad bud spots, lollipoping is a common term for this.
Can’t wait to open the tent up tonight when I get home and see how they are all doing

After a few weeks of daily bending, the plant has started to thicken the joints which means I’m going to start softly training the branches down and out so I can make a more even canopy in my grow space.
Bending also helps me make use of more vertical space when I tuck her under a trellis.

Getting insane growth right now after setting my grow tent on a 20/4.
Right now is all about training and pruning and getting some good vegetation on before reducing the daylight hours to 18/6 for a week or two to prepare them for the 12/12 flowering stage.

As a weapons based art, grappling is so essential to HEMA one could argue that “judo” was ‘created’ in 1300 Italy.
Our grappling traditions are the one thing I feel that gives us any relevancy or credit in the modern era.

FUCKING CAWWWWWWWW!!!!
Shadowmark Talon takes down World Eaters in a perfect game!
My opp was smart to take the transport detachment against me but I was able to dominate the shooting lanes with the devastator centurions and inceptors.
I played rather sloppy but sheer mobility got me there.

Work has had me busy as all hell so my private lessons have suffered a bit, but I was glad to get back to them last night.
@amazenggrace.bsky.social and I made a herb basted salmon steak with Argentinian style Humita and sweet vinegar pomegranate braised veg.
Everyone was very happy.

My right arm is almost useless right now from work so we are back to training lefty.
There are so many small muscles that are just not developed in my left arm and it’s frustrating as hell.
It’s slow, it’s sloppy, it hurts, so we keep going.
Iron within, Iron without.

Ah, a individual of fine tastes I see.
If I may...
This is the Tau XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit, the pinnacle of T'au stealth technology, created specifically for use behind enemy lines combat.
