Up close and personal

Fencing today was mostly about close measure techniques, so we've lots of fun with pommelling, quillion strikes, disarms and some nasty little wrist mangling tricks. I was demo bunny for the day, so I was up close and personal with a sweaty prof for some real mano-a-mano action. The best thing was a nick on the shoulder from the prof's semi sharp, so I have a real life genuine duelling scar at last!

Right, now we're off out to see John Otway ...
