Sometimes you go to practice and it just hits the wrong way.

Thr process is a journey. It's ok to not be perfect at practice. Because you have another practice and another. What was hard will become second nature and you will be struggling with something new.

Progress on buckler.

Making a buckler backing and I may have over done the oven cuirboulli a bit. It's still good for a prototype.

Post practice lemonade really hits the spot. Got some good offer bouting footage today. Next class we will work and new technique and work on getting rid of middle binds from our parrys

We are not a cult, we are the culture of second intention.

Sometimes that means we do weird classes on Wensday nights.

(We are benefiting from Russ' movement expertise)

Not going to lie. I want this #Hema #HistoricalFencing

New Hat. Part of my the cool hat club at #WSHF (Winged Saber Historical Fencing)

We have a new venue and will be opening our doors again soon

Today I got to sample the cruffin. That’s right, a croissant-muffin hybrid filled with lemon custard.

This was a buttery, flaky, savory, sweet, citrusy, creamy party in my mouth!

Have you ever had one??

Hi! I’m actually the original artist 🙋It kinda escaped containment and the internet ain’t great at crediting, so I understand not everyone knows, but I’m at least glad it gives folks a laugh.

Picked up a pair of go-nows to practice with during laundry.

Love the purple heart shamshir. It is my favorite plastic trainer in terms of feel and curve.

I eventually want to get the steel one they offer.
