One down with two to go
On Saturday, December 6, 2008 I took and passed the Fencing Master’s written exam and passed with an ‘A’. That is pretty good, but to keep it in perspective, it only qualifies me to take the practical examination.
I am spending as much of this week training as I can and when I take the practical exam, that will leave me with a thesis. When I complete the thesis and the practical, I can put on the black jacket.
Here are some pictures from my training session on Sunday with Maestro John Sullins.
Engaging in Third
Maestro's Candidate Eric Myers (Yes, he really is that tall.)
From the student's engagement of 1st, change beat of 2nd and straight thrust to the outside low line. Instructor parries in 2nd and ripostes to the outside high line. Student executes a passata sotto from the lunge.

Woo hoo. Best wishes on today!
