Another Pair Of Eyes

Fencing

Last week I went to a taster session of fencing; something I’ve wanted to try for a very long time and somehow never got around to doing, and it was alright. Not fantastic, not crap, just alright. This week I woke up precisely twelve minutes before the start of the session feeling fairly dodgy after the night before, and I almost, so almost, didn’t go.

I am so glad I did. It was terrific, although my arm still aches from waving a foil around in a thrust/parry/riposte manner. It is insanely fast, somewhat technical, surprisingly tiring and strangely satisfying all at once.

If you ever have a chance to do something but you’re not sure, go. It might just make your day!
