Sparred HayWire the other day; I keep forgetting how hard it is fighting a lefty
She's learning to mix up those head an body shots now though, and I find myself having to learn how to block from angles I don't normally have to worry about when facing orthodox fighters.
On the plus side, I got to test a swayback counter my master taught me before. The idea is to weave my head right before the strike lands, while simultaneously swinging the weapon in a vertical fanlike motion. The end result is a near miss to my head, and I land an intercept shot on my opponent's forearm or hand.
If she keeps up her progress, I'll have to wear my rubber shoes again.
