The Swordplay's the thing

Gentle Readers,

So, I fenced last night. Not hard, not fast and definitely not well, but I did fence. I probably could have played the whole practice which makes me happy regarding my stamina. It's hard trying to not overdo things. Now I just need to change the physical results of going from many hours of intensive physical activity a week to nothing for a couple of months.

I feel so very unconnected with my body as a result of this incapacitation and it and I are going to need some time to get to know each other.

I'm a 3-weapon guy - so foil, epee, and saber. Epee's the only one I compete (badly, but getting better!) in.

Cool. That's where I started, but I've since moved on to older forms. Currently I'm mostly focused on the medieval german traditions working with longsword and grosse messer.
