I have recently started Fencing classes again. This Tuesday will be my 4th class and the last of the official "Beginner's program" After 3 hour and a half classes over the last 3 weeks, we now know the bascis of attack, defend and couterattack. There are 8 students in my class and the people who have set up this salle seem like really good people. They are the Olympic fencing team for Singapore form like 1989 or something... (date is probably wrong). And they set up the salle afterwards to continue fencing and bring more people to fencing. They actually have 3 different locations around Singapore and teach all the different styles of fencing. Foil, epee and Sabre. In the past I was learning Foil but this class is an apee group which means I'll need to buy a new sword but luckily I still have all my gear frm when I used to fence. Although I am a bit worried that my top might be a little small now...
Still fencing willl be a good way to work on my core muscles and balance whjich is very important to my back health now. So I plan on continuing the classes and I am excited to actually get some fencing in this week. All the other people in my class have not done any fencing before so I am hoping I will be able to kick a lot of beginner ass on tuesday. We'll see, my worst fault fencing was always getting too escited and then I just ended up thrashing around:) So I need to work on my calm!
