En Garde!
Danielle and I signed up to take an Introduction to Fencing class. It is a six week course that meets every Tuesday evening from 7 to 8:30. We are taking the class at the South Denver Fencing Academy.
Our first class consisted of stretching, determining your vision dominance – which determines if you fence right or left handed (I’m left, Danielle is right) – how to get into the “en garde” position, how to move forward, how to move backwards, how to thrust your weapon, and how to lunge with your weapon.
We had a great time. The instructors seem to be full of knowledge and experience, and they have great senses of humor too.

Good job participating, Pops! Hahahahaha. Love you. I’m going to own you.

I know more about stretching than some bimbo in a track suit. After a while, it’s like taking a nap in a funky position.
And you’re going to have serious regrets about publicly calling me out. Nothing hurts more than a parents beat down.
