OTC. Wired.

Just a quick moment to post on progress.

We’re halfway done with day two of the actual coaching instruction. So far the similarities with the foil sessions are numerous. Apart from remembering that distance depends on target, and thus middle distance to chest and middle distance to wrist are different despite both being ‘middle‘ distance, my previous experience is helping a great deal.

I’m actually posting this from the gym itself. In fact, the picture above was taken with the built-in camera in my laptop and uploaded as I posted this. Seems they’ve gone to great lengths to really wire up the OTC since I was here last. I’m really digging that.

More epee this afternoon. I’m learning a great deal and am looking forward to applying some of this to my lessons and my own fencing. I’m also having a heck of a time with all the folks from last year who returned this year. This experience really is one of the greatest ones of my life.

And now, epee stretch before we start back up.
