Twenty Percent Reflection 1

This week, I began researching the rules and history of fencing.  I looked online and found a few websites to reference. I also discussed the project with a friend of mine, and he lent me some books which he recommended to learn more about the sport. I learned about the three forms of fencing: epee, foil and sabre. There are differences in the swords, strategies, and rules between them. The books seem to be helpful in not only the information they provide, but also in creating some depth and showing some interesting history of the sport. For this coming week, I plan to continue researching, reading, and learning. I plan to have a fencing lesson/discussion with my friend next week to begin the moves and techniques portion of the project.
