Parried again?

On Friday, September 26, 2008, the Mary Washington fencers did in fact continue work on their parries, this time using each other for both point control and practice with ripostes.

Parry Four

The evening of Sunday, September 21, 2008, new Mary Washington Fencers learned their first parry. Of course, this only followed the mass confusion that is learning the ways of mask sizes, jacket sizes, and locating that second breast protector for the ladies in the club. Those who knew how to weave chain mail wondered if [...]
