I threw the spear at full force, aimed for Your belly button area as the right hand throws the spear at You I left the natural flow of the throw take My right arm down to My right hip to grip the hilt of My short sword
Jogging forward preparing obviouly to hurl that spear..
Ok combination IMO and good flow since ya didn't actually draw the weapon..though yer hand is on the wrong side..better clear that up or a deduction later..spear chucked at belly button, hand going to sword, distance at 15', or 5 paces

moved My sheild back to My left from right to cover My left shoulder to mid thigh as I started to come into you with swift steps squaring Myself up to you as soon as I came within shortsword range seeing you are muh bigger than Me I planted My left foot solidly into the ground as I moved the shortsword low from My right to left aiming the blade for the outside and front of your left knee hoping to slice the razor sharp tip n meat of blade deeply into your left knee under your shield and give you a severelmp for the rest of the spar
Decent defense, though it could've been easier, it was hard to read yer rights and lefts in yer pivot at first..could've been something like "already with a left side lead making my belly button a hard target, I pivoted on my left foot drawing myr ight side back even more to stand completely on angle, shield moving left to right angled out towards my right as your spear hit the protruding metal boss screaming across it and deflected off to My right"
But I see what you were doing..I'll allow it this time since you were already in good position to defend and did a decent job..

being low and My right hand now holding the hilt of My short sword and you in short range I pushed up from the left knee to come up as I pushed My shield towards You to try and drive Your sword to Your right side and draw My sword from the scabbard as I came upward to try and cleave the tip edge up Your right thigh and around the edge of Yoru sheild on Your right side in a continuous flowing move
Good thing you noticed it..dropping to a knee lowering the shield a clean enough defense..
Re-reads...a decent reaction..I see the rising and movement of the shield as a flowing motion while withdrawing your sword and aiming an attack at Him, but as yer rising from the placement of scabbard on your hip by the time the tip is drawn I see it more hitting him in the Hip and traveling up, not as low as the thigh IMO..but nothing to deduct for..

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : knowing you had time but atleast that spear was gone n we was now in close which is how I liked it ...noting you drop thinking thats a very nice move ....I let My shortsword go out to My right outside of your shield ...My right hekdshort outta the way I swiftly moved back once again upon My right foot quite a heavy step back to give us a little room as I noted your right shortssword moving to My right side My shield swiftly moving like lightening to My right from left n lower ...the step back upon My right foot had given Me a good angle left side facing you more than right as your shortsword scratched heavily of the mid lower right side of My shield as it moved out to My right your left instantly then .....
I keptMy sheild where it was as I swiftly shuffled a quick step to My left your right ...getting the sheild outta the way with the move as I ripped My shortsword low as it moved to My left from right and low hoping to come under ypur sheild and sliceacross your left front of knee once again with the sharp blade before then arcing it viciously up hoping to slice the blade on the underside of your extended right forearm thats out to your left somewhere My right and slice deeply into it enough mebbe to make you drop that weapon ....or hinder your movements for the rest of the spar
-busted time, barely-
Clean enough defense..Him rising the shield moving and withdrawing his weapon might give you time..but I see you taking a scratch to yer right side here just before the shield gets there, even in his withdrawing/backhanding motion, swords are made to be withdrawn in a split second and He has all the momentum, you have to bring yer shield completely across while pivoting and bringing it down low..nothing major..just a couple stitches to the right hip..-1
Lil confusing here at first I thought it was two attacks, but I see it as a continuation after the shuffle however that's a huge looping motion..and yer sword going low and to yer left across his knee then circling back up again around his shield..cause if yer getting underneath it in order to get to his arm you have to retract and get around his shield..is abit much IMO -1..if His arm would've been out to His right IMO and it just naturally flowed there that would be okay, or maybe raising it in the clockwise motiont that you did coming under his shield across his knee and then terminating in a strike to his right side..wihtout two attacks allowed..the first one or even the second well done well palced as you were trying ot do should be "happenstance", meaning you were going for one attack and the other just might hit as well...But again this is how I see it after being called on this once before..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: that one made you think hey....I could dance as well as any Black and was just bigger was all, as I pivot on the ball of My back right foot as You shift to My left and then right and came sort of square but Your left leading, to drive My left shoulder back and bring the left leg out of range as Your sword came up and I think is border on double attack here but I push My left shiled forward to close on Your own shield so they meet and let Your sword hit the joining section of shields and save My right arm
My right was now at left shoulder but I was not happy with the angle I had and so I moved back a pace to bring My sword back to My right hip with the blade tip looking up at You rather than push a bad position
Lil confusin while yer describing His left and rights..but yer pivot and drawing back of yer left side is clean..and good thing you didn't leave that up to the judges to decide..heh but you were right in yer assumption..though if He'd worded it abit differently you'd be sans swordarm..punching yer shield towards His would move yers to His right side..he moved and his his shield is on yer right..his left..I don't see the shields connecting -1 on clarity..but will say cause of his ackward finishing stroke having to come around yer shield yer shield would punch his swordarm and stop the oncoming blow from finalizing...
Doh!..His arm is crossed in front of Him..coming high..even if it cleared out to His right..your shortsword was high in position over your left shoulder..I would've took the opening for a counterattack or reaction here to backhand the sword back out to yer right aiming for the exposed right side of His head cause His shield's outta place and with yours forward He'd be hard pressed to stop it...but..resetting of weapons..back a pace..is clean except what type of stance are you taking, right side still leading, are you square to Him, where's yer shield now in all this? lil more detail Joe..-1

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : did not know on the double attack apologise ...as you moved your blade tip to point at My form I swiftly started pushing of My left foot to go back to My right your left ...pulling My sheild back up and to My left a little to get it outta the way a little My right held short infront of My sheild at My left also ....
still shuffling to My right hopefully trying to come upon your left side much more staying outta the way of your extended shortsword as I pulled My right held short back to My right from left once within range hoping to slice the blade of the shortsword into the inside and front of your left knee as it moved back down towards My right side and hopefully coming under your shield ..
[ No need to apologize I tried to explain up there how it could be done, yer doin fine ] Resetting yourself and stepping back in on the attack once again..clean
Ya got a thing for His left knee -lol- shuffling to the right and backhanding the sword from it's position down and out to your right for His knee is clean with the shuffling back to his left side though it -is- still drawn back and might not be too effective, should've went for the right though ya didn't know cause he didn't state ..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: My right leg was now the leading leg as I had moved before and paced back it would still be right leg leading, so I see you having to extend to get at My left knee and My right sword was drawn back in that last rather than stuill extended, so dropped My shield low so the lower rim came down to try and catch Your blade tip on the lower edge and thinking I see You seriously off balance here and sort of stooped to get that shot in
I came over the top of My shield with the right short sword, aimed to spike down hard and drive the tip hard into the back of Your shoulder blades as I was much the taller of the two Men
Gotta be careful in your assumptions now stating which side is leading is a little late to state it now, the reason I'm not deducting here is it's a minor thing and He -did- move back to your left side in his lil shuffling manuevers which might give Him better range, I don't see hIs strike towards your back left leg doing anything serious or even getting there completely..but it was a minor detail that I deducted you for up there that could've changed the flow of the spar at this point..in any case yer shield defense is clean...
Yer taller by about 9", that definately gives you some leverage but from the Distance being stated even with His attack low scraping across your shield which isn't gonna stoop Him all that low since He's much shorter then You it's gonna be tough to drive it down into His shoulderblades through His back..I just dont' see Him hunched over that much IMO

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : notes I am real f**kin rusty gotta get to know the leg positions ....seeing I was pretty much of balnce Id agree sorta ...I placed My right foot fimly upon the floor twisting My upper body as quickly and as much as I could ...so that My right pivoted back deeply n to My right My left coming around as it did I raised My left handed sheild up as swiftlu as I could to My right and up in hopes of using it somewhat in an umbarella fashion .....bending deeply at My knees as I raised the sheild up and back over My head hopefully in time as I felt your sword hitting very powerfully over the full surface of the sheild that was well abover My head forcing My already well bent knees to buckle n knock My form to My right knee but hopefully stopping the impalement as I felt a heavy shudder over My form and left arm viciously ......
pushing up then immediately as I shuffled to back away from you a good 2 paces as I pulled My sheild bacj to cover the front centre mass of My form breathing heavily and extending My right held sortsword to your form dead centre chest ...bent slightly at My knees square on with ya
-busted time again-
You're confusing here Bro..you planted your right foot..twisted yer body..not sure which way..pivoted your right back deeply with your left coming around?..I'm not understanding that at all..dropping to a knee after a simpler pivot one way or the other and raising up the shield would've been more effective here...-1
Pushing up and shuffling back another couple of paces to reset your weapons and yourself after that Viscious onslaught..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: I was not about to just let You shuffle back as You did the umbrella move and stared to come up I would think You are again off balance and back peddling and I moved in with My left shield held and pressed forward and slightly angled off so My right edge 9My pov) was forward as i tried to get Yiour blade on the shield face as I stepped in after You, pressing home the advantage point, as I hope to get My shield in at your before Yours comes down and keep Yours uppermost on My top rim and prevent You protecting Your front mass
I would see My sword as being on Your shield face on the top and let it drag off the edge as You trried to drop your shield back down, if My shield shove does block yours and I got My sword down under Your rim and free of the shield in the back stagger..I had it..and drove My short sword forward in a point blank thrust for Your left side chest to end the match and in the process...end You
This should've been a counterstrike..and not two seperate posts this is the tricky fine line of backposting within prodigy, as a counterstrike you could do all that you said you did within one simple post, closing blocking his shield and simply stabbing him through the chest...that's a simultaneous action..here he's already pretty much reset Himself or at least tried too..but that's just my take an opinion on it...it's still clean enough though it comes an offensive movement of you stopping His shield since there was no attack made by Him and the beginning of the post being split the way it is should've put yer shield stop in your reaction post..I see what yer trying to do..pressing on the advantage point "as He's rising and backing up" is clean..bringing the shield forward so that He can't lower it..but you'd have to be quick..and yer wording is abit confusing though I get the idea.."shield in at yours before yours comes down and keep yours uppermost on my top rim"...his "Uppermost" or whatever you were trying to say is confusing but the intent is clear...the only saving grace here is that He posted rising THEN pulling his shield back down..not doing it before or while He was rising..though doing it as a counterstrike would negate pretty much anything else He could do and the confusion that this would bring cause He believes He's already reset having taken a full on reaction instead of attack to do it..
But all in all with a good manuever even still it's a nasty attack..

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : seeing you come at Me with your sheild onto Mine as I was back peddaling away sorta having snapped My back straight up and pulling My sheild back down from over the top of My like an umberalla trpe thing .....just catching sight of your sheild coming down as I pulled the top of My sheild tightly into My chest as I started to push up from My well bent knees the hagle of My sheild causing yours to slide down infront of Mine however cvausing My form to be serverly of balance as I was forced to lean backwards needing 3 legs at this moment in time it would appear,,,pulling My shortsword out and to My right as I was pushing back up but heavily off balance so it was ooutta the way of your sheild n attack...falling back as I was heavily off balance anyways as I fell Itwisted My form from My right to left from the waist up ....the sheild having room to do it as I was nowfalling back upon My arse n flat of back .....twisted still deeply to My left your right as your shortsword hit My sheild very heavily and pushed n scratched across the left upper surface of it as My left shoulder was covered by it thankfully ....causing a very heavy scratch upon My sheild but your sword moving out to My left your right without catching Me ....
....not really in a stateto attack more I just got up to My feet n gave a nod to ya cause ya had just kicked My arse royally .....making sure I was outta swords length for now
Again...this is what I was talking about "backposting" if ya would've stepped back again and ripped your shield to your left or something off of His anything to smack into His sword you would've had a decent enough defense..but yer watching Him come at you as you state "as I was back peddling away sorta" presumably meaning you seeing HIs shield coming at you as you were backpeddling from rising up from yer knee to restate your weapons, then there should've been a statement to draw your shield away from His that was attempting to block the downwards reset of your own shield...but you can't go back and describe AFTER the fact what happened before...unless yer describing it as if your shield got down there and then you're defending..this post is really really confusing and has way too much in it for simply being off balance and falling on your ass luckily having your shield flail wildly to your left on the way down to the flat of your back defending his sword thrust..that right there would've been basic enough of a description for a decent defense..-1

Joe MacBain: 8
Hatcher: 6 and a cut to the right hip
Winner: Joe MacBain
Comments: I pretty much stated everything up there. I didn't factor in the two time busts by Hatcher which would've negated His reactions during the spar just for the sake of learning. However I did point them out, and if I did, Hatcher would've been a goner half way through this spar. To Me this spar started out really well, just a couple minor flaws in details and wording but it was excellent through the first half, but then declined and got sloppy in a hurry. Just a couple minor tweaks up there and something to think about. Hatcher, yer doin alright, but never be afraid to press the attack and keep it simple, remembering your positioning...Joe yer definately better, the only part of this that made it difficult was when it became confusing when you didn't counterattack when You should have..it was a prime exampled and I hope you understood what I meant about the difference between closing and pressing on your attack and doing it all at once and how it confuses things..proof in Hatcher's return post to You where it all declined...Other then that ya guys didn't do bad..I enjoyed it...
Any questions..comments..concerns pregnant doges or gripes...feel Free

Good thing you noticed it..dropping to a knee lowering the shield a clean enough defense..
Re-reads...a decent reaction..I see the rising and movement of the shield as a flowing motion while withdrawing your sword and aiming an attack at Him, but as yer rising from the placement of scabbard on your hip by the time the tip is drawn I see it more hitting him in the Hip and traveling up, not as low as the thigh IMO..but nothing to deduct for..

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : knowing you had time but atleast that spear was gone n we was now in close which is how I liked it ...noting you drop thinking thats a very nice move ....I let My shortsword go out to My right outside of your shield ...My right hekdshort outta the way I swiftly moved back once again upon My right foot quite a heavy step back to give us a little room as I noted your right shortssword moving to My right side My shield swiftly moving like lightening to My right from left n lower ...the step back upon My right foot had given Me a good angle left side facing you more than right as your shortsword scratched heavily of the mid lower right side of My shield as it moved out to My right your left instantly then .....
I keptMy sheild where it was as I swiftly shuffled a quick step to My left your right ...getting the sheild outta the way with the move as I ripped My shortsword low as it moved to My left from right and low hoping to come under ypur sheild and sliceacross your left front of knee once again with the sharp blade before then arcing it viciously up hoping to slice the blade on the underside of your extended right forearm thats out to your left somewhere My right and slice deeply into it enough mebbe to make you drop that weapon ....or hinder your movements for the rest of the spar
-busted time, barely-
Clean enough defense..Him rising the shield moving and withdrawing his weapon might give you time..but I see you taking a scratch to yer right side here just before the shield gets there, even in his withdrawing/backhanding motion, swords are made to be withdrawn in a split second and He has all the momentum, you have to bring yer shield completely across while pivoting and bringing it down low..nothing major..just a couple stitches to the right hip..-1
Lil confusing here at first I thought it was two attacks, but I see it as a continuation after the shuffle however that's a huge looping motion..and yer sword going low and to yer left across his knee then circling back up again around his shield..cause if yer getting underneath it in order to get to his arm you have to retract and get around his shield..is abit much IMO -1..if His arm would've been out to His right IMO and it just naturally flowed there that would be okay, or maybe raising it in the clockwise motiont that you did coming under his shield across his knee and then terminating in a strike to his right side..wihtout two attacks allowed..the first one or even the second well done well palced as you were trying ot do should be "happenstance", meaning you were going for one attack and the other just might hit as well...But again this is how I see it after being called on this once before..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: that one made you think hey....I could dance as well as any Black and was just bigger was all, as I pivot on the ball of My back right foot as You shift to My left and then right and came sort of square but Your left leading, to drive My left shoulder back and bring the left leg out of range as Your sword came up and I think is border on double attack here but I push My left shiled forward to close on Your own shield so they meet and let Your sword hit the joining section of shields and save My right arm
My right was now at left shoulder but I was not happy with the angle I had and so I moved back a pace to bring My sword back to My right hip with the blade tip looking up at You rather than push a bad position
Lil confusin while yer describing His left and rights..but yer pivot and drawing back of yer left side is clean..and good thing you didn't leave that up to the judges to decide..heh but you were right in yer assumption..though if He'd worded it abit differently you'd be sans swordarm..punching yer shield towards His would move yers to His right side..he moved and his his shield is on yer right..his left..I don't see the shields connecting -1 on clarity..but will say cause of his ackward finishing stroke having to come around yer shield yer shield would punch his swordarm and stop the oncoming blow from finalizing...
Doh!..His arm is crossed in front of Him..coming high..even if it cleared out to His right..your shortsword was high in position over your left shoulder..I would've took the opening for a counterattack or reaction here to backhand the sword back out to yer right aiming for the exposed right side of His head cause His shield's outta place and with yours forward He'd be hard pressed to stop it...but..resetting of weapons..back a pace..is clean except what type of stance are you taking, right side still leading, are you square to Him, where's yer shield now in all this? lil more detail Joe..-1

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : did not know on the double attack apologise ...as you moved your blade tip to point at My form I swiftly started pushing of My left foot to go back to My right your left ...pulling My sheild back up and to My left a little to get it outta the way a little My right held short infront of My sheild at My left also ....
still shuffling to My right hopefully trying to come upon your left side much more staying outta the way of your extended shortsword as I pulled My right held short back to My right from left once within range hoping to slice the blade of the shortsword into the inside and front of your left knee as it moved back down towards My right side and hopefully coming under your shield ..
[ No need to apologize I tried to explain up there how it could be done, yer doin fine ] Resetting yourself and stepping back in on the attack once again..clean
Ya got a thing for His left knee -lol- shuffling to the right and backhanding the sword from it's position down and out to your right for His knee is clean with the shuffling back to his left side though it -is- still drawn back and might not be too effective, should've went for the right though ya didn't know cause he didn't state ..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: My right leg was now the leading leg as I had moved before and paced back it would still be right leg leading, so I see you having to extend to get at My left knee and My right sword was drawn back in that last rather than stuill extended, so dropped My shield low so the lower rim came down to try and catch Your blade tip on the lower edge and thinking I see You seriously off balance here and sort of stooped to get that shot in
I came over the top of My shield with the right short sword, aimed to spike down hard and drive the tip hard into the back of Your shoulder blades as I was much the taller of the two Men
Gotta be careful in your assumptions now stating which side is leading is a little late to state it now, the reason I'm not deducting here is it's a minor thing and He -did- move back to your left side in his lil shuffling manuevers which might give Him better range, I don't see hIs strike towards your back left leg doing anything serious or even getting there completely..but it was a minor detail that I deducted you for up there that could've changed the flow of the spar at this point..in any case yer shield defense is clean...
Yer taller by about 9", that definately gives you some leverage but from the Distance being stated even with His attack low scraping across your shield which isn't gonna stoop Him all that low since He's much shorter then You it's gonna be tough to drive it down into His shoulderblades through His back..I just dont' see Him hunched over that much IMO

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : notes I am real f**kin rusty gotta get to know the leg positions ....seeing I was pretty much of balnce Id agree sorta ...I placed My right foot fimly upon the floor twisting My upper body as quickly and as much as I could ...so that My right pivoted back deeply n to My right My left coming around as it did I raised My left handed sheild up as swiftlu as I could to My right and up in hopes of using it somewhat in an umbarella fashion .....bending deeply at My knees as I raised the sheild up and back over My head hopefully in time as I felt your sword hitting very powerfully over the full surface of the sheild that was well abover My head forcing My already well bent knees to buckle n knock My form to My right knee but hopefully stopping the impalement as I felt a heavy shudder over My form and left arm viciously ......
pushing up then immediately as I shuffled to back away from you a good 2 paces as I pulled My sheild bacj to cover the front centre mass of My form breathing heavily and extending My right held sortsword to your form dead centre chest ...bent slightly at My knees square on with ya
-busted time again-
You're confusing here Bro..you planted your right foot..twisted yer body..not sure which way..pivoted your right back deeply with your left coming around?..I'm not understanding that at all..dropping to a knee after a simpler pivot one way or the other and raising up the shield would've been more effective here...-1
Pushing up and shuffling back another couple of paces to reset your weapons and yourself after that Viscious onslaught..

is in the large main field and says to Hatcher Dia Bosa 'ÐÎÄM®Ñ: I was not about to just let You shuffle back as You did the umbrella move and stared to come up I would think You are again off balance and back peddling and I moved in with My left shield held and pressed forward and slightly angled off so My right edge 9My pov) was forward as i tried to get Yiour blade on the shield face as I stepped in after You, pressing home the advantage point, as I hope to get My shield in at your before Yours comes down and keep Yours uppermost on My top rim and prevent You protecting Your front mass
I would see My sword as being on Your shield face on the top and let it drag off the edge as You trried to drop your shield back down, if My shield shove does block yours and I got My sword down under Your rim and free of the shield in the back stagger..I had it..and drove My short sword forward in a point blank thrust for Your left side chest to end the match and in the process...end You
This should've been a counterstrike..and not two seperate posts this is the tricky fine line of backposting within prodigy, as a counterstrike you could do all that you said you did within one simple post, closing blocking his shield and simply stabbing him through the chest...that's a simultaneous action..here he's already pretty much reset Himself or at least tried too..but that's just my take an opinion on it...it's still clean enough though it comes an offensive movement of you stopping His shield since there was no attack made by Him and the beginning of the post being split the way it is should've put yer shield stop in your reaction post..I see what yer trying to do..pressing on the advantage point "as He's rising and backing up" is clean..bringing the shield forward so that He can't lower it..but you'd have to be quick..and yer wording is abit confusing though I get the idea.."shield in at yours before yours comes down and keep yours uppermost on my top rim"...his "Uppermost" or whatever you were trying to say is confusing but the intent is clear...the only saving grace here is that He posted rising THEN pulling his shield back down..not doing it before or while He was rising..though doing it as a counterstrike would negate pretty much anything else He could do and the confusion that this would bring cause He believes He's already reset having taken a full on reaction instead of attack to do it..
But all in all with a good manuever even still it's a nasty attack..

is in the large main field and says to Joe MacBainCompanion to : seeing you come at Me with your sheild onto Mine as I was back peddaling away sorta having snapped My back straight up and pulling My sheild back down from over the top of My like an umberalla trpe thing .....just catching sight of your sheild coming down as I pulled the top of My sheild tightly into My chest as I started to push up from My well bent knees the hagle of My sheild causing yours to slide down infront of Mine however cvausing My form to be serverly of balance as I was forced to lean backwards needing 3 legs at this moment in time it would appear,,,pulling My shortsword out and to My right as I was pushing back up but heavily off balance so it was ooutta the way of your sheild n attack...falling back as I was heavily off balance anyways as I fell Itwisted My form from My right to left from the waist up ....the sheild having room to do it as I was nowfalling back upon My arse n flat of back .....twisted still deeply to My left your right as your shortsword hit My sheild very heavily and pushed n scratched across the left upper surface of it as My left shoulder was covered by it thankfully ....causing a very heavy scratch upon My sheild but your sword moving out to My left your right without catching Me ....
....not really in a stateto attack more I just got up to My feet n gave a nod to ya cause ya had just kicked My arse royally .....making sure I was outta swords length for now
Again...this is what I was talking about "backposting" if ya would've stepped back again and ripped your shield to your left or something off of His anything to smack into His sword you would've had a decent enough defense..but yer watching Him come at you as you state "as I was back peddling away sorta" presumably meaning you seeing HIs shield coming at you as you were backpeddling from rising up from yer knee to restate your weapons, then there should've been a statement to draw your shield away from His that was attempting to block the downwards reset of your own shield...but you can't go back and describe AFTER the fact what happened before...unless yer describing it as if your shield got down there and then you're defending..this post is really really confusing and has way too much in it for simply being off balance and falling on your ass luckily having your shield flail wildly to your left on the way down to the flat of your back defending his sword thrust..that right there would've been basic enough of a description for a decent defense..-1

Joe MacBain: 8
Hatcher: 6 and a cut to the right hip
Winner: Joe MacBain
Comments: I pretty much stated everything up there. I didn't factor in the two time busts by Hatcher which would've negated His reactions during the spar just for the sake of learning. However I did point them out, and if I did, Hatcher would've been a goner half way through this spar. To Me this spar started out really well, just a couple minor flaws in details and wording but it was excellent through the first half, but then declined and got sloppy in a hurry. Just a couple minor tweaks up there and something to think about. Hatcher, yer doin alright, but never be afraid to press the attack and keep it simple, remembering your positioning...Joe yer definately better, the only part of this that made it difficult was when it became confusing when you didn't counterattack when You should have..it was a prime exampled and I hope you understood what I meant about the difference between closing and pressing on your attack and doing it all at once and how it confuses things..proof in Hatcher's return post to You where it all declined...Other then that ya guys didn't do bad..I enjoyed it...
Any questions..comments..concerns pregnant doges or gripes...feel Free
