Activity Update from La Sala D'Armi Della Scuola D'Italia On November 15th, 2010

Yet another good session last friday.  Fencer's picked up some 'history' as we reviewed Miyamoto Musashi, and his nine precepts applied to our art form (VOID).  Then we explored the parries, sticking to the four high frontal parries we will be focusing on this semester (WATER). 
During the parry discussion, we saw the necessity to keep the presentation of heat. Master Foley continued his rigorous exercise routine, and the fencers enjoyed yet another series of bouts!

The Forms are improving throughout.  Bad habits are being lost, the all important balance is present, and hits are being self-declared. 

This week, we held the session in the cafeteria, to make room for La Scuola's tribute to Dr. Montessori, famed educator, and founder of the Montessori schools.

A-Lei!
