A Quiet Night?

For the first time, Mr. President N. Bolzman led drills after Mr. Instructor J. Lorrig had led warm-ups. Happily, Mr. President taught new and interesting moves. Interestingly, Mr. Instructor did not completely demonstrate his superiority in the drills. Unfortunately, Mr. President will need to learn projection before he will be able to effectively lead drills on a consistent basis.

Due to the conflicting schedules, here follows a shortened and incomplete account of the night. Additions are welcome.

• First match: Mr. Instructor vs. Mr. B. Flint. In which Mr. Flint holds his own remarkably well (5-3). Foil.

• Second: Mr. President vs. Mr. G. Evans. Which transpires much as expected (5-1). Foil.

• Thrid: Mr. President vs. Ms. Secretary. In which Ms. Secretary displays her taste for blood and Mr. President demonstrates his taste for metal (7-3) Saber.

"Foil technique emphasises strong defence and the killing attack to the body." "Sabre technique emphasises speed, feints, and strong offence." "Fencing is one of the safest sports, yet gives a wonderful, stimulating workout of body and mind."
