learn fencing

Started a few weeks ago. Fencing attracts people from all kinds of backgrounds and interests so I’ve found that very interesting. Has given my legs a huge workout so far and I thought I was in decent shape :D….it is enjoyable and I picture myself as Zorro or the count of Monte Cristo!

Long-term, unless somebody wants to get me a really good birthday present…

Had the first lesson yesterday… I think I will enjoy doing this but not sure how good I will be.. Anyway, at least I got it strated.

i liked doing it, although i wasn’t v. good at it…

My last class is tonight, as I’ve learned the basic rules and moves of fencing I think I can check this off.

I’d like to continue with an intermediate class at some point, but the next scheduled class at this club conflicts with my work schedule so it will have to wait.

I’m going to look up lessons in my area and start saving up. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. The sooner I start learning, the better.

I was all pysched for my first lesson. But it was cancelled due to a giant storm that’s messed up most of the east cost.

Ah, well. Next Friday then.

No, Wii Sports fencing does not count

Accomplished. I start a 10 week beginner course Feb. 1.

I read The Speed of dark by Elizabeth Moon recently, and I really wanted to take up fencing afterwards. I will probably have forgotten all about this wish in a few weeks :)
