I love learning new stuff!
So, last night I went to my first rapier lesson. Wow! What a blast!

I wasn't able to make it last week. Which was okay because it was tavern night (a night just to sit and drink). So I made it last night.

I didn't realize how much work it is to hold up a 3 lbs. sword. Especially for more than 5 minutes.

And I have no idea what I'm doing. But, I caught on fairly well. I managed to hold my own against the more advanced students.

But now I have a lot of work to do. I have to work on my footwork and practice some of the moves. We were learning the Capo Ferro style of fighting last night (prima, seconda, tersa, quattro) and footwork.

Well, gotta get back to work. Once I learn more, I'll include it. In the meantime, I have alot of reading and studying to do.
