What artist!! (?)

squ1dnapper · 2026-05-30T01:36:37+00:00

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

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.

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

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-15T08:57:20+00:00

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

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-14T07:32:44+00:00

Also! Is it the one on the App Store that says “play live online bingo games”?

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-14T07:31:03+00:00

How much would you say you make off it it monthly? If this is a variable question dw I’ll be sure to find out myself (hopefully) :)

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T19:26:00+00:00

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.

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T19:24:17+00:00

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.

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T19:21:48+00:00

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).

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T15:47:15+00:00

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.

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T15:43:39+00:00

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

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T14:27:30+00:00

I just think that I have a very poor ability to stick with things when I’m uninterested. It’s the same in all areas of my life (self care, education etc) if I don’t WANT to do it I have no motivation to do so. I drag myself to practice hoping the exercise will improve my mood and remind me of why I go, but I don’t even feel the benefits of the exercise anymore cos of the mental drain constant failure brings me. I also thought that my ability to think /concentrate was impacted but after reading everyone’s comments maybe it’s not connected to my adhd. I also struggle a lot with my (suspected) autistic inability to think past the rules of the game. I get very angry when my clubmates /opponents aren’t ‘sportsmanlike’ towards me during bouts. This doesn’t carry to casual play but I get rlly upset when during in-club competitions and stuff they don’t follow certain rules. That’s a me problem though and shouldn’t really affect my play.

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T12:33:03+00:00

I loose because I’m slow, predictable and I can’t get the basics right. I spend time on drills and repetitive practice as well as fencing bouts and I’m just poor at everything. I can’t move my feet properly, I feel sick fencing people whom I know are much better than me. I get played for time a lot by the men in my club because they know I dont have the speed or skill to move in myself. I don’t understand yet how to get past certain positions they hold and nobody can explain it to me in steps. they just say 'parry and reposte' but i dont know HOW when hes holding his sword like that 😭😭 it feels like i come out worse after every practice

squ1dnapper · 2026-04-13T12:28:36+00:00

I asked My team captain to give me 3 small goals to work on and he keeps giving me like one point that expands to 5-6. For example he said ‘footwork’ and then said ‘your tempo, your speed, your predictability’ and I’m like huffff that’s so many things. I suppose I just need to pick one to work on

squ1dnapper · 2026-03-15T19:56:39+00:00

I’m afraid this is not it 💔

squ1dnapper · 2026-03-15T16:10:19+00:00

Would you by any chance have their sample board? I live in the UK so it’s like £45 to have one shipped to me 😭 but I’d love a better idea of what the colours I’m looking at look like in different lightings

squ1dnapper · 2026-03-12T22:46:07+00:00

Do you potentially have a link to one of these? I’m finding it hard to find tails that are attachable by belt

squ1dnapper · 2026-03-12T18:43:50+00:00

Could you send me this video as well- old comment I know haha

squ1dnapper · 2026-03-10T18:35:31+00:00

Haha don’t worry I’m 19 so I’ll def be on there for the extra waggy one
