I will always dearly love how non-supportive my fencing team is, and how we can flip each other shit. Last night when fencing one of the twenty year-olds, they were shouting "Come on! He's an old man! He's slow and his knees are shot! Are you going to let him beat you like that?" #fencing

Saying goodbye to my old #fencing jacket. I first started fencing in 1999, then quit when I moved to Japan. I kept my gear thinking "someday" I would fence again After 25 years, I started fencing again. I was thrilled it still fit and hadn't kept it for nothing. I finally gave it honorable service.

Just signed up for a swordsmandship class at a nearby martial arts dojo! The first class is on Saturday.

Funnily enough, it's in the building right next to the library, which is literally half a mile from my house :D I didn't even know there was a dojo there!

They're hosting a whole variety of classes throughout the year. This one is "Rapier and Dagger Combat". I'm looking forward to "Rennaissance Longsword" and "Hollywood Swashbuckling"
