anotheranonToday I beat one of my classes' best fencers. He's been fencing for 11 years and has been a good tutor to me as well, but I finally *got* him. I am rather pleased with myself!
I wasn't even going to stay for Club, but I let myself get sucked in. I think what happened is I quit simply reacting and took the time to watch what he was doing. He was less able to take me by surprise.
Its a small thing and it will probably be a long time before I can best someone that much better than myself, so I thought it was worthy of note.
