It was raining like 10 minutes before the fight :)Recovery time's bad because he has superior reach. Recovery time's fine- it's just that I can't reach him and riposte after dodging is usually pointless (even though I do it). And I do put balance on one foot momentarily, since I'm lunging to cover distance.Check the other fights- I keep getting better, finally getting myself to push forward. It works!And yeah I have to keep on attacking, I know that :(Do you train in WMA something?
