The Shoes - Time to Dance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt9wnawn7xQ&sns=em

A few criticisms of fencing technique

- not bending of legs whilst in en guard position
- raising point to an opponent not wearing a mask
- back arm covering target
- too close to opponent when attempting a lunge.

(Warning! quite graphic.)

Not wearing a proper jacket during fencing, just a shirt
Slashing with an epee
Right arm not fully extended when attacking

Also, why would you buy a murder weapon from leon paul? They cost a fair deal, and you're just going to have to destroy it anyway. Surely sword price fighters would be a better option?

My other grumble would be that the actual track is boring and a bit rubbish.

Anyway, off to idle Chit Chat with yer.

It's a foil if I'm not mistaken.

Ach, you're right. I was going with the brief close up at 1:09, which is obviously a foil now that i look at it again. But, see, now the clip makes even less sense because he's also completely off target.

I made it my New Year's resolution to get rid of the great Rs. And I'm working on the belly, too
