Reflection 7

This week, I was able to meet with my fencing buddy and learn about some fencing skills, such as parrying. They are numbered 1-6 I believe and different kinds of parries are more important for different weapons. Epee uses parries 4 and 6, which have to do with how you are blocking the opponent's sword.  It's pretty confusing since I'm left-handed and that changes the strategies used for fencing.  I am really not someone who enjoys sports, but in my opinion fencing is at least somewhat interesting because it requires so much mental agility. You have to think really fast and decide what your opponent's next move is going to be before acting.
