Waiting in line to spar, helmet off, face sweaty, feeling the breeze from the fan hit you just right. No begter feeling

Yesterday we sparred against the instructor and with me he went for a cerebral study in which he destroyed me over and over again. Some stuff he did was not in any lesson we ever did. Outside the gym I said him “I didn’t deserve that reinassance bs you did to me” and he laughed so hard. He told me he that the reinassance style was born to defeat the medieval stuff we study so he rather enjoys using it against me. Sigh.

yo olympic fencing is so fun. and funny. like so fucking hilarious. i never thought yall’s stance was so nonchalant. so unbothered. i also keep wanting to parry like i would with a longsword and its pissing me off.

IM BACK with funny fencing quotes and scenarios

A bro gives me a lesson and teaches me the medura? Mesura? A Spanish something? Hes chilean and im a 5th year Spanish student and haven’t heard of it. Its like an epee marching attack, really cool.

“I stabbed myself”

“I dont faint. Im built different” “I’ve SEEN you faint”

“Thunder AND thunderstruck? Perfect for endurance training!”

“I actually have a fleching tic”

Thats all for now everybody!!!

One thing I’ve found is that I naturally hold a foil sword out of en garde in the gayest fucking way possible

Hi, I suck at fencing

And my personal favorite:

“Whatever dude, I’m so done with this swordfight.”

There’s something fun about leaving work early and telling your boss you’re going to go stab people

Busy couple of days at the shop. Thank gods I have a henchperson.

fencing is so much fucking fun

I fear tonight’s practice made for very poor story telling. A business meeting, a hurt hand, and an abundance of drills do not lend themselves to the sincerity, insight, or entertainment that I strive to bring my Lovely Readers in each of these sword journal entries.

Our canton has begun to plan its annual tournament event and as it is still in planning and I am not a steward, there’s very little that I feel would be appropriate for me to share at present. My offhand was damaged yesterday in an horrible grocery accident, and today it still rather smarts, so I was not keen to brave sparring lest I worsen a healing wound. Instead I ran drills most of the evening and chatted with our newcomers. The marshall and I shared with them good cheer and beloved tales as we walked them through the basics of drilling one’s measure. I did a slight variation on the basic drill to rehearse the motions of an offline parry. Dreadfully exciting things I’m sure.

I hope to have something more substantial for you all tomorrow. The awful truth of the path is that sometimes it is not very exciting. One must learn to cherish the empty plains as much as they do the dark forests and soaring peaks.

Dressed up my Wukusi sallet overlay. Still need to make a new chin strap, but otherwise, it’s good to go to Gulf Wars

I twinged my knee in fencing yesterday and now it hurts ☹️

Finished today during a lecture. University is a horrible place, but it has given me opportunity to try out something new and I wanted to honour this experience with this piece. I was also experimenting with shadows and lighting a bit:P

Both the clothes and the weapons are from history, you would hardly see anything like this in today’s athletic fencing. Inspo from this website: https://hemamisfits.com/2017/02/19/men-in-white-the-history-of-the-fencing-uniform/

Gravity is something that only happens to *other* people, apparently.
