Pirating!, Monday, period 1
“Sword fights,” Duke said, once the students had gathered. “Totally a classic pirate trope. Especially if you make use of all the fun deck levels.”
"A bit of swashbucklin' never hurt anyone," Edward said merrily. "Well. It's hurt no one worth talking about."
He held out an ornate, curved blade. "Specifically, the cutlass, as it's preferred by my people. Quite a handy thing for a bit of fencing, to the death or otherwise."
“We’ve got some wooden ones for you all to practice with. Ed, you wanna give them some tips?”
"A cutlass ain't no ordinary sword," Edward said, demonstrating a quick cut, a chop, and a parry. "It's lighter and more versatile than your big knightly blades and all that nonsense. Stay on the move when you fight. Move wide, slash quickly, embrace the chaos of it."
Another parrying move.
"Also consider your footwork," he said, as his feet moved nimbly across the room. "As I said, fast an' movin's the word. Practice a bit, then take turns fighting one another. Get a feel for it."
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” Duke said. “Have fun!”
