Tuesday Night Practice Oct 30

I have been neglecting my blogging duties and have missed recording at least 2 practices I can no longer fully recall. Last night I sparred with Charles, Cillian, Sirona, and Tom. A good hard intense session that ended by 9. Went through all my styles. Had some ood moves, a lot of bad moves. Mostly just had fun playing with the swords. Cillian showed the new toys. Hanwei practical cut and thrust cruciform swords. Says there is a basket hilt style available. More sword envy. Dang but I want one.

Fencing at Pillage on the Plains

A Good weekend for fencing. Perfect weather, warm, but not hot, with steady breezes to cool things down a bit.

Randalin in Kyrra was fighting her prize for her Companionate in the Argent Rapier. She fought all comers single blade, sword and dagger, and sword and cloak. She defeated me sword and dagger, but I was successful with sword and cloak and single blade. We double killed on sword and cloak and I had o do push ups. Then we re fought the point.

In the Round Robin tournament, I lost to Cillian, Sirona, and Tom, but defeated Stefan de Gascon, Garrick, and Enrique. I fought all styles I'm authorized with.

I later fought pick up fights with Enrique, Stefan, and Randalin for a full afternoon of swordplay.

Practice Tuesday 10-2

Not a very intense session. Cillian and Sirona were there, but they were working on her prize fight and I never got to fight either of them. Charles and Tom and I bear-pitted for a while, and I fought Tom with case. Then Cillian had us both try capes. The style is very exhausting, and I have a tendency to foul my own blade with the damn thing.
