Fenced in Mannheim last night.

I've been fencing more than this blog shows, but not nearly as much as I would like. Work, dog illnesses, my illnesses, etc., have really not helped the effort.

NH, AL, Issey (!!!! yay !!!!!), and I. SW sat on the sidelines and was browbeaten thoroughly into agreeing to start coming regularly--he'd been fencing epee!

I fenced ok. Feel for tempo and the physical ability to claim tempo sucked... well, what did I expect?

Took a quick lesson from Alex.

1. M attacks. S: parry riposte.

2. M invites. S: attack

3. M extends. S: stop cut. M attacks. S: parry riposte

4. M invites. S prepares w/extension. M either cuts in or parries. S: finish attack directly or with disengage.

Note: these are all done with dynamic footwork--i.e., M leads, S follows, and at some point M gives the cue for the action.

I hope your dogs are okay... well you too. It's just that when dogs get sick it's more serious than a cold or something... and you are fencing and blogging so I can assume you're fairly healthy.

It wasn't dog illness as much as dog injury--Turbo--the bad luck dog!--cut his foot a couple of weeks ago just as I was warming up for training--my dogsitter called me, and I headed home--she had taken him to the vet and gotten him patched up, but that killed one Wednesday, and the following Wednesday I was sick.... I haven't been able to establish a really consistent training regime since June, and it is beginning to annoy me.

Bah... I had a accident prone dog too... the funniest was when he decided to poop on a ground wasp nest. I was just grateful he wasn't allergic to sticks like my current dog is.
