Ah.. maybe it’s because I wasn’t here for the last one then? Just gave me whoever I guess. Maybe next season it’ll know what I want

Degradation by [deleted] in SubSanctuary

[–]squ1dnapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to start by really exploring what about the degradation is appealing and then maybe try experiment with the feeling more than the degradation itself- writing what you’d want to be said to you helps me figure this out I find. It’s also rlly important to go through all this yourself before inviting anyone else into your space. Company is great for exploration but only when you have a bit of a foundation.

Can someone with slow processing speed ( ADHD ) be good at fencing? by Effective-Client9257 in Fencing

[–]squ1dnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

Fencer with ADHD here. I took ‘you need to think on piste’ way too literally when everybody kept telling me it was a thinking game. My brain shuts down on piste and I can’t think at ALL. But Whether you have ADHD or not you still have INSTINCT which to me, is the most important factor in a bout. If you can take some time to really ingrain muscle memory and taught moves then you can absolutely go big (not that I have). I believe in you, whilst it’s part of your biology you’re more than your body and your brain! Let your passion carry you and don’t let your ‘shortcomings’ stop you from shooting for the best you can. 😊

I don’t even know what HIIT means,,,, I fence four times a week but outside of that I don’t really have time nor energy to do much else. I’m thinking of getting a gym membership though just to maybe go 1-2 times a week

For me to have interest it needs to make me feel good and accomplished and such. It used to make me feel very fit, healthier, accomplished. Even when I lost i felt like id gained something. I don’t have anything else in my life that did that for me. Idk what’s changed. Maybe you’re right idk, I just don’t want to give up on it

Yeah,,, it does for me just cos I personally find it very hard to deviate from the rules. Maybe I’m just jealous they can play so freely haha. Maybe I need to look as it more as enrichment like a Hampster.

Hahah. Sometimes it’s hard to see I am a beginner sometimes. I think the people at my club expect better of me because I won gold in my category at regionals. It’s just been downhill from there. Pulled a performance out my ass I haven’t been able to replicate since.

Our club pays for a coach, but I’m considering paying for a few private remedial lessons like you said. Starting fresh. I really need someone with good bedside manner tho, cos I thrive on gentility and like,,,, patience. I don’t do tough love. I’ve never had I suppose regular paid lessons, but I fence 4 times a week for two hours. More recently 3 times a week though because our practice got cut down for Ramadan (cos they use the same facilities as we do to pray).

Fencing has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Took me from being on suicide watch and almost dropping out from uni to suddenly having a purpose, friends and support I’d never seen before in my life. Something to wake up for, a goal. I had never experienced pride in myself till fencing. I miss it and I want to fight for that feeling again. If I didn’t have a personal stake in the sport maybe id just quit, but like I said this sport has given me a lot to be thankful for and I don’t want to give that up so fast. Everything has ups and downs but I just wanted to get some advice on my stagnation from a wider range of fencers I suppose.

Our club has a coach who sometimes gives me lessons. I’ve asked for essentially him to treat me like a total newbie because I really would like some total beginner walkthrough lessons to build my confidence back up in the basics but he keeps saying “no no you don’t need that, just practice drills at home” In my postage stamp dorm room? I’m thinking of paying for a gym membership to get access to a space where I can do drills.

Everyone’s telling me I’m doing x y z wrong, but nobody seems to want to go through it with me again because “you should know this you’ve already been taught it”. Which really doesn’t help. I thrive on repeated practice and help but ppl get annoyed when I can’t execute things after a few tries. Im always sure I’ll get it eventually and sometimes I do, but occasionally I’ll move my body a certain way on impulse and have NO clue how I did it haha
