Fight Night

[msrlapin]

Finally got some armor bits that worked - and the nerve - to get on the lists and play last night. Good Lord, that was fun. I've still got a goofy grin on my face. I'm dead certain that my stance needs work, and throwing my shots, and everything else. But I might just have to spend the bulk of the next few fighter practices getting used to the idea

What is "throwing shots"? Does that just mean hitting hard enough to count? :)

Yes and no. You need to hit hard enough to make it count, but in order to do so, you need to start the motion of hitting someone from your waist, not your elbow or wrist. The mechanics are pretty similar to throwing a baseball or football; hence the term "throwing shots". It doesn't feel like you're hitting all that hard, surprisingly, but it definitely stings on the recieving end. It's also a good way to keep your arms from falling off during a long tournament.
