Oct. 21st tournament results!

We had six people show up for our first tournament of the year, which unfortunately landed on the same date as two large tournaments in Seattle. Due to the small turnout we did not fence epee.

Results:
1st: Patrick
2nd: Zach
3rd (tied): Jessica
3rd(tied): Issac
4th: Joe
5th: Mark

The tournament went smoothly with no real problems with equipment or the scoring box. Everyone fenced very well, and we hope to see more people come to our next tournament on November 18th.

Oct. 18th Practice

Once again we had a good turnout for practice. A few new people came nad were taught the basics, while the rest of the group did footwork and blade work. Afterwards we all played Speed Circle, where we all formed a circle and two people would fence, until everyone went and a winner was left. After that we did a full round robin, which left everyone tired. Joe discussed equipment orders with some of the new people as the night ended.

8/12 practice

Once again we had a great turnout. Greg held saber classes, which 7 or 8 people took part in. Everyone else either free fenced, or did lessons with Joe. Afterwards we all played a few games of Take the Bridge. Afterwards there was much free fencing, and many beginners stuck around and fenced.

Practice #2

We had a good turn out last night. Joe instructed the beginners on parrying, while Kristi helped some others get caught up. The advanced fencers free fenced. About half way through the night we played Take the Bridge a few times with everyone, which worked out very well.

We have a food drive and tournament coming up soon. More information on these will be posted soon.

First Practice

Welcome everyone! Our first practice went well. If you didn't show up to the first one it's no big deal, just show up next tuesday or wednesday at 8 in Carver Gym D.

We had a good amount of new fencers with us, and Joe acted as coach and showed them all the basic moves. After various drills we did some free fencing, with some of the new people staying and playing around. We all enjoyed fencing for the first time in a few months, and hopefully we will go to a few tournaments soon. Hope to see everyone there next tuesday.
