Well done

.

Superb training session last night with the Beckenham boys, everyone worked exceptionally hard, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the ringen* (with a fair bit of unconscious giggling I might add).
From there we repeated the straight line assaults with the rapier and then straight in to sparring.
Sparring
The thing that made this better last night chaps was the fact that over half the class had fencing jackets, that meant we could fight properly with the steels. It was still good work with the synthetics BUT remember that you will not be allowed to spar steel (particularly Rapier) without adequate protection . AND jackets with breaches are uniform. Again very well done, a particular pleasure to be able to free play some of the Thibault work. Mike, put ice on it and stop setting aside too much ;)
Train hard. Dave
