| Make him explain how a bent-arm flick really truly satisfies ROW rules.

| Greetings Brothers and Sisters of the One True Sword,
Glad to see Alain is still alive and kicking. I've been a little busy myself with a variety of projects, so I haven't been as vigilant as usual. I too fell into the Jesus Rep Trap, and I feel almost as bad as I did when I accidentally awarded EPEE points to that Inq fella. Truly a dark day in Mudville it was.
In quick response to Zasha's question, move your feet and don't leave your hand hanging in a position that is easy to hit. Also if you are fairly inexperienced, you might try keeping your point aimed at the bottom of their guard. I utilize an extensive barrage of coupe hits, when I'm fencing, and I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've accidentally poked my hand on the other fencer's blade on the way in for what should have been my hit. Don't think of it as poking to against the flick, but rather just leaving the point in a healthy/happy place. Good things can happen when you do that.

Those things are like wool undergarments hot and uncomforatable. I wore one of them for a fencing demonstration and it was nearly unbearable.

| Demonstrating sabre or just wearing the Lame. Both sound unbareable.
