pinning Winds.  Well, I went up to visit the girlfriend, and like one of the other times that I went to visit her and my knee wasn't hurt, I stopped by the Spinning Winds fighter practice.  It was a lot of fun.  I was able to just fight.  I did not worry bout improving my form, I did not have to worry about working with newer fighters, I just fought.

The most enjoyable part of the experience was after about an hour of fighting Sword and Shield (and winning most of my fights) a couple of the fighters did the "Hey, lets fight polearm."  They said this with the genial grin that I have come to recognize as meaning "Hey come and fight my best and favorite weapon style."  However, I guess that they weren't aware that polearm is also MY favorite weapon style, and if anything the severity of the beatings only increased.  I'm really too tired to write a great entry about this tonight, but it was a REALLY good time at the Spinning Winds fighter practice.
