We are not a cult, we are the culture of second intention.

Sometimes that means we do weird classes on Wensday nights.

(We are benefiting from Russ' movement expertise)

Bouting season started tonight for Winged Saber Historical Fencing with Manchette Play. We bout with boffers, targeting the arm from the elbow to fingers. New fencers are getting used to the bouting while the rest of us practice techniques under pressure. Hope to have footage soon.

Sometimes, you have a rough day and a bad night. I was lucky to be able to exercise some creativity with this instant Ramen dish
