Today's
swordfighting
lesson was totally different! Last week, we worked mostly on footwork
and my legs just about fell off an hour into it. After class, I had
that great heavy workout rush in all my limbs and especially my chest.
Today, we did much less footwork and were cutting and parrying with our
sabers all class. After class, my hands and arms were a bit sore and my
body was limber but the big rush was in my head. Whacking and parrying
was mentally challenging with a completely different sense of
invigoration. (and at the end we got to hold broadswords!)
