Tonight I think I had a breakthrough.

It was about the hardest workout I've had at this club yet. LOTS of drilling: footwork, lunges, bladework, distance. Main takeaway notes to self:

  • Knock off the advance-advance-advance-sorta lunge - these fencers WILL back up and you'll tire yourself out chasing them unsuccessfully down the strip. Lunge properly, once, from distance!
  • Do the advance-retreat dance until you're within measure. Even if it tires you out, be patient and keep dancing until you're in range.
  • Parry, dammit!


I think I'm going to go to bed now.

Oooooh! Interesting! I would love to watch you fence sometime. Dodge, feint, parry, thrust! (as per Donald Duck of course, if you're familiar with the cartoon Friar Duck)

I'd love to have you watch me fence! Goes for anyone else reading as well.
