My very first foil!

It’s not the sort of thing Hallmark makes cards for, but I still feel like I’ve passed some sort of milestone. I’m still taking classes, but I’ve also started going to open fencing. It was really intimidating at first, but I got over it

I need to get a bag to carry my stuff in though, walking around with a sword in downtown Detroit attracts a bit more attention than I was expecting. It makes getting to and from the parking garage… interesting.

I can’t wait until advance classes start.

I also have a feeling they’re going to start me on epee at some point. Probably far in the future since I’ve just started with the foil.
