Fencing

Today I fenced with my own gear which are: mask, pants, glove, under arm protector, jacket and foil (weapon)


Here I am.  I learned to attack with a bigger lunge.  I wasn't using a big enough lunge.  You need to use a big lunge because if you don''t then you might get counter attacked.  You need to extend your foil, point your front toe forward, take a big step, plant your back foot on the floor, bend your knee and recover.  I played a game to ten points and lost 7 10.

  1. I love that you added a graphic here to help me learn about your fencing gear. I always admired the GHS fencing team when I was growing up in Madison. You really did a nice breaking down the steps for a big lunge. I think I'll try it out right now!
