Fencing Club - Salle, Monday After Classes

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Edmund was in before he needed to be, setting up for Fencing Club. When everyone arrived, he addressed them. "Welcome back. We'll get some hands-on experience this week. On this rack you'll find the wooden training swords we'll be using today. Zayne, your weighted sword is down on the end there." He picked one up. "They're very different from standard fencing foils. If you're interested in practising with a foil later in the semester, let me know and I'll arrange it.

Those with experience, you're welcome to partner off and use this time for sparring, or you can join the rest of us in footwork drills. I'll demonstrate, then you can practice them on your own until you feel comfortable enough to partner with someone."

Turtle hadn't been able to make it to the first meeting, so she was feeling the nervousness jitters of a first time now. But she'd had at least two swordplay classes under her belt now, as well as the promise of Zack's help if she needed it, so that made her feel a little better. And footwork drills were good; she could do those, no problemo.
