Fencing Club - Salle, Monday Afternoon

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Zayne and Azula's special training swords were left at the end of the regular training swords as Edmund addressed the group.

"This is our fourth meeting. Coming back this often takes dedication and I hope these sessions are useful for you. If there's anything in particular you'd like to learn or practice or have discussed or demonstrated here, please come and talk to me. As I promised last week, this time we'll move into basic attacking drills." He demonstrated. "Beginners and anyone wanting to join in, have a try and once you get the hang of it, try incorporating your footwork. It's best if you partner up and practice against each other to get a feel for where your opponent will be. You'll have to get used to having someone across from you anyway. Those with experience, if you spar today try to focus on disarming your opponent."

Go it alone or pair up and try to move together.

Dinah was doing the drills -- extend, attack, lunge-- and looking for someone to mirror as she practiced.

Emma ran the drills a few times, letting the familiar footwork soothe her.

Ellie was practicing the drills, surprised by how much easier the footwork was for her.

Liz went over the drills, going over them several times until she got a comfortable feel for them.
