Fencing Club - The Salle, Monday After Classes

"Apologies for the lack of meeting last week. I was called away." He fell down a well. It was embarrassing. "This week we're starting with actual blades. I know some of you have used them before. Please use that experience to be extra careful with the more inexperienced members of the group. I have a range of swords available for you to choose from. Zayne, your weapon of choice isn't exactly practical for this session so I've prepared something more suitable but a step up from the wood. Azula, I promised you an Arming sword lesson. The sword on the end is yours.

Pair up. Take your time, respect your opponent and if you're hurt, alert either myself or Captain Algren immediately. The point of sparring with live weapons isn't to hurt your opponent, it's to practice movements and control."

"I'd recommend Dinah or Emma," Edmund suggested. "They can work on their own skills while giving you a formidable opponent. If you want to address anything specific with your technique using the blade, tell me. I might be able to help. If not, know you will get better with practice. It's sort of like dancing."

"I don't have any specific that needs to be addressed other than the whole not hurting people thing," Ellie replied. "I will just keep practicing. If it's like dancing as you said, then I guess I really will get better at this."

"I know you will," he assured her kindly. "If you want more supervised practice during the week you need only ask."

Ellie nodded, smiling slightly. "Thanks Edmund."

Edmund gave her a nod. "I'll leave you to it."
