Rising early, we got some breakfast at Burger King and headed into London. The purpose? David and I were helping to teach Rapier at the Thamesreach Revel.
There was a nice gathering of participants for the Rapier portion of the training . . 5 in total plus David and I made 7. We worked on some of the basics to start with: Stance, Footwork, the Lunge, Hand positioning and then moved into a gaining the blade drill. We broke for Lunch and everyone scattered to find their food of choice. Thank you to Agatha and Ursula who took my Mom with them when they headed out to Lunch!!!
After Lunch we met back up and headed outside to do some slow work speeding up into free play. We all had the opportunity to fight one another working on the things from the morning and then just plain enjoying fencing other people.
The "visiting other parts of London" that I promised my Mom was out since we left around 5:30 pm. Sorry Mom! But a good time seemed to have been had by all participants.
We ended our day by eating at The Fox near the house . . always yummy!!
