Saber in Detroit, Michigan-NAC D

Princess Rashid (me) @ Summer Nationals in Atlanta, GA

Well, I'm off to another big tournament, the North American Cup (NAC D) in Detroit, Michigan. This time, I will be fencing in the Div II Women's Saber Event on Saturday, March 12, 2011. I'm pretty excited.

However, I have been pretty stressed lately, with recovering from a hamstring injury,  taking coaches exam, traveling, and marketing my artwork. Not to mention, being a mom two active kids, etc...

Tuesday night,  my saber coach gave me an interesting lesson. It was mostly to fix my mind. Apparently, my stress was affecting my fencing...so he made me list my dreams and goals. Based on my list, it was clear that I need to relax and have some fun.

Hmmm.....Any suggestions?

My coach told me to resolve my psychological issues before the tournament so I will be able to focus and not be a house divided so to speak. I admit it will take a minute for me to do this but I have been in the zone before. I know how it feels.

On Saturday,  I will clear my mind and fence one touch at a time. I will keep you posted.....

"Sabre Ready" began as study for my painting "Sabre Girl". I started this painting a while back at the 2005 Nationals Championship in Sacramento, CA. I was painting small watercolors and selling pretty well but this one took a while to get the mask and stance just right. I'm particularly happy with the lettering of the word "Sabre". To get that affect I used masking fluid to write the words and near the end of the work I removed it and then adjusted the temperature of that area to complement the rest of the work. I'm also pleased at the way the metallic vest (lame) turned out. I used Daniel Smith Silver Metallic Pigment to glaze over the blue area of the vest.
