Yessh the day has arrived! Today is Fencing day! Organised by Nee Soon East Community Center again, the same lobang for Leisure Dragon boating, partner with Absolute Fencing. Chris joined me today. We both just wanted to try out fencing for the experience, once and for all. :)
We got the chance to put on the Fencing gear: protective helmet, protective training vest, glove and the weapon. We learn the basic movement and attacking/defending. The main attack that we learnt was the "launch" attack. (See picture below.) Its a simple forward strike aiming at opponent chest.
Defending is basically using our weapon to parry away the opponent's attack. I got the chance to PK Chris using their computerised sensor system. Now then i know sensor can be installed on the Fencing weapon, when you hit the opponent, the system will ring. Gosh Chris was really on the ball, he won me 3-0. It was really exhausting if you keep on attacking, and the weapon was kind of heavy after holding it for some time.
Overall one time experience was good enough. Think Fencing was not really our passion. Its a good chance trying out. :)
