Fencing

[owesaurus]

I started taking fencing once a week on 5-28-07 and it is pretty cool. So far we have learned: attack, lunge, parry(upper inside), riposte and lots of different movements and exercises. I get to thank Sassysweetheart for signing me up for this *SMOOCH*. Not a lot going on...Tomorrow is Father's day. And I'm a Dad this time!

What weapon are you fencing? If I remember correctly they usually start you off on foil, is that how they do it in the States too?

I use to fence at the all girls catholic school I went too.

Yeah, we started with foil and may move on to epee but I'm not sure. We won't be doing any sabre.

It looks like it's a lot of fun, actually...I would love to try it!

BTW - if you wanna link to someone's journal, do < lj user="sassysweetheart > (without the spaces)
