On Focus and Fatigue, part 2

A wise warrior knows that when fatigue starts to become a problem, it’s time to withdraw, let the enemy take the initiative – or at least make them believe so. Let them attack, waste their energy on trying to bypass your defence. This is one of the reasons why learning to properly parry and avoid attacks is so crucial – it’s all about buying yourself some breathing space. It’s about pushing fatigue away for as long as possible and refocusing your combat efforts.
