The city is surrounded.
Barbarians are at the gate, and they’re making a loud clamor. You can hear swords banging shields, shouts and jeers, and sound of countless feet stomping the ground combine in cacophony of noise.
It’s grinding on your nerves.
And it’s already been a few weeks. Supplies are running short, and soon it will all come to head. You can see them preparing the battle rams and ladders.
They want to smash through the gates and go over the walls, and once they do, it will be nothing short of hell.
Blood and mayhem.
And all you can do is wait or sally forth to do battle.
A similar dilemma faces us when we play guard. In fact, there is a zone that we must defend at all costs.
It’s the space between your shoulders and your hips.
That’s your base. All your riches and the foundation of your power lies there. The barbarians must not get through the gates. And that is something that you must keep in mind at all times.
Even in the most precarious of situations, you have a line of defense. It consists of your hands, forearms, feet, and shins.
Frustrate your opponent with those tools. When they clear one, bring another to bear. One after another again and again.
Watch as despair and hopelessness filled their eyes, and then strike when they least expect.
It’s a game.
And strategy is your friend.
Always defend your home base.
And you know what?
You can add another layer to your guard, if you so wish, over here:
