Fencing Club - Salle, After Classes

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Edmund arrived earlier than necessary to make sure the practice swords were out and the area was clear for use. He waited for everyone to arrive and noted silently that this definitely wasn't the kind of club roster he'd been expecting. Still, they wanted to learn, so he would do his best.

"Welcome to Fencing Club. I believe I know most of you now. My name is Edmund Pevensie. The school has seen fit to have Professor Algren supervise us. There are a few ground rules as we'll be dealing with objects that can kill you if you use them improperly. Treat every weapon seriously, even if it's a wooden practice sword, and treat your opponent with respect.

This week will be informal. Please go around the room and introduce yourself and tell everyone what, if any, experience with fencing or swordwork you have. It's okay if you don't have any. We'll work on that."

Dinah held up her practice blade (http://www.weaponmasters.com/shopping/Two-Handed-Wooden-Sword-p-16375.html), and said, "This one, mostly, although I can use it one-handed instead of just two-handed now. None of the sabers or foils." She bit her lip, and added, "I'd like to learn to use a katana, too, if anyone knows anything about those. But maybe changing styles is a bad idea?" She had no idea if that would be considered risky or not.

"If you're learning from Arthur, it's best to ask him."

"Cool. Good point." Dinah smiled. "I'm really looking forward to this."
