Usually those things are demons, undead, and other pixelated evils.
Which I can shoot,
Whack with a sword,

Or leave to the devices of my allies (while I keep my guildies alive from a safe distance)
Sometimes, however, virtual violence isn't enough. I must hit things. With sticks.
In particular, I hit a pell (upright, padded target my darling hubby built for me) with either bokken (wooden practice sword) or tanto (knife - in this case, a wooden practice version).
I must have been extra tense this week. I was trying to remember all the basic escrima moves. & managed to strain something in my mid/lower back. I didn't have my notes so I was relying on muscle memory. Clearly what my muscles didn't remember was how long it's been since I've done any escrima.
Sheesh.
I couldn't remember beyond the first 4-5 moves. I need to check with Sensei Craig but maybe I'll wait a couple weeks first.
Meanwhile, about those demons....
