#fencing
The confusion between the meaning of these two terms in Historical Fencing seems to come up a lot.
If you touch without power it does not necessarily mean you are fencing without intensity. If you fence with a lot of power, it does not necessarily mean you are fencing with a lot of intensity.
Though they exhibit a lot of overlap, they are not the same thing.
-Philippo di Vadi, 1480s
Strapped cameras to peoples heads and did some fencing. For your enjoyment, of course!

I forgot to post here.
I got a proof print of my book in the mail a week or so ago. I am pretty happy with it. A few things i will do differently layout-wise next time, but it’s fine.
Waiting on a foreword and then it will be ready to go. The final came out to like 220 -ish pages.

So I bought a super durable case for my new gopro and tried to get some first person sparring footage.
I unfortunately messed up. It was the first time i’d tried controlling the camera from my phone, and accidentally had it set to timelapse mode. So it’s very low framerate (meaning no image stabilisation) and very long exposure (meaning blurry images)
However, the footage in general shows some promise for what I can come up with if I am less of an idiot next time.
I think i want to aim the camera a little bit more downwards and put it on the highest FoV possible (this was on mid range FoV)

Happy Packsgiving from our club to you and yours! Packsgiving is a WRFS original holiday that we created to celebrate fencing family. It’s like Thanksgiving, but with clubmates instead of those awkward relatives you only see once a year. (Also it’s much more acceptable to start a duel over the last piece of dessert.)
This year, we celebrated our 2nd annual Packsgiving with food, awards, and our usual general shenanigans.
The sure and begorrah of our fencing team looking after the vapors of disappointment of one of the little fiercelings learning in loss of a touch. His empathy spans centuries
