En Garde!

I took my first fencing class this morning. It was a lot of fun! We mostly learned about the history of fencing, and did a little foot-work. It seems like it is going to be pretty challenging, both mentally and physically, which is good. Next week we will get our weapons, so that will I'm sure make things more interesting! The class consisted of me and 2 other guys. (one being about 13 years old!) I am leaning towards the sabre, but they will let us figure out which one we like and go from there. I think this week I need to do some major practicing....and squats! He said next week will be tough! Yikes!
