I first did this a few (?) years back
4 years ago
My mom gave me lessons one year for my birthday, and I spent a summer learning with a Russian instructor (Alex, I think his name was) who also coached at American University. I was really surprised I did it; I’ve never been one for any sport, really, much less one where people might see me or I have to compete. But I loved it! And talk about a workout … thank god for spinning class or my thighs would’ve turned to jello after the first hour! I would really love to get back into it, and advance my practice to competition at least, and perhaps epee.
