I have been fencing more foil lately than I have in years. Unfortunately, it is fencing, not practice. The new club I have ended up at, doesn't really believe in PRACTICE. They like to fence, a very fun club. They set up the electric strips, and everyone waits in line to fence two bouts then it is back in line to wait till your turn rolls back around again. I have tried, with limited success to get people to drill with me between bouts. Most people prefer to sit and chat with one another. the bad part of this of course is that what I REALLY NEED now in foil is boring repetitive drills, forcing me to concentrate on keeping my hand from turning to far, making my actions smaller, all the basic stuff.
What I have been doing, is footwork and lunges while I am waiting. Which is of course something else I really need. So all is far from lost. :)
I wonder if the others there that I don't know well think I am antisocial for not sitting around and chatting?
