Ayer, una señora según salía de su clase de yoga junto a sus compañeras: Perdona, una pregunta. ¿Venís a tocar música o algo? Como siempre os vemos venir con las fundas esas grandes...
Yo: No, no. Hacemos esgrima. Lo que llevamos son espadas.
Señora: Ah, ok - se va corriendo a contárselo a las compañeras que la están esperando.
Tiene gracia, llevamos coincidiendo 2 años ya en este polideportivo y es la primera que nos pregunta algo.

Lois SpanglerDay 8: so, so close
Alllllmost done with Dialogue 3 cross-compare. Will try to get it finished tonight. Once that's done, it's transcription and translation time.
Guest kitty is settling in a little but still hissy at my boys. But everyone's using litter trays and everyone's eating and drinking, so that's a plus.
Day 7: the day that got away
I picked up a new foster kitty yesterday, and today was full of feline shenanigans. Foster is young and has just finished with her first litter and has NO TIME for stupid boycats thankyouverymuch.
No violence, just hisses (all from her -- my boys just see NEW FRIEND), but it's been a day of soothing and reassuring all three cats -- two resident, one guest.
Tomorrow is back to Figgy dagger.
Day 6:
At the request of a fellow destrx, I'm in the process of reviewing the parts of Dialogue 3 that I feel are strongly reflected in Figueiredo. I got maybe halfway done today.
Drawing relevant points from Philosphy of Arms that supports the notion that Figueiredo's dagger method is derived from Carranza.
My head hurts.
Day 5: some movement and more Compendio
Did some Indoan club work to keep from becoming a desk goblin. More stuff on dagger that makes it look like Figgy drew directly from Carranza with his dagger method.
Day 4: more and more Compendio
Acometimiento. Movimiento cero. I thought Pacheco might have originated that concept, but nope. It's there in Carranza. Who knew?
(and now in English)
...which ones are the ones that always wound, and which ones are not for wounding but for helping to wound, because in destrexa there are some movements that are of the arithmetical quality of zero, which serve no other cause that to increase the value of the movement that immediately follows, and in this way of entering emerge many kinds of techniques.
In Patreon Compendio news, I am haunted by acometimiento. In New Science, Pacheco defines movimiento cero/zero movement as acometimiento, which, depending on your view is a feint, or a kind of feint, or something almost but not entirely unlike a feint. No diestrx agrees on what exactly it is.
Anyway, it turns out that Carranza is the LVD originator of this zero-movement concept. I was not expecting that.
