The anatomy of a typical fencing club meeting is as follows:
1) Warmup: We might play a quick game involving running, or we may just jog for a minute or two
2) Stretching: Stretching is important before working out!
3) Footwork: Footwork is key to fencing! We practice it each meeting to make sure we've got it down, and play some footwork-based games
4) Bladework: We break out the swords and learn how to use them!
5) Fencing: We set up electric scoring equipment and fence each other with the remaining time
This semester, we are meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4-5:30 in Middleton Gym!
