Fencing

This week we tried a bit of fencing. That would be the type with swords not number 8 fencing wire. After 2 hours of it we were already tired and hot as those masks get pretty hot inside. I don’t think I was also expecting it to sting so much when you get hit. Mind you I am a whimp when it comes to pain however Steve did complain when I accidently hit his bare hand in error. I think I came out worse though as I had both Steve and a guy from work that I was practicing the moves with and both of them managed to get me on the same arm. Needless to say I now have an arm full of bruises. It was good fun and I’m keen to try a few more times to see if it is something I want to continue on with. I think however I need to stop laughing so much and concentrate more. Hey, what can I say, it’s my secret plan to put the other person off their game! 🙂
