Activity Update from La Sala D'Armi Della Scuola D'Armi On November 21st, 2010

First, lets welcome TWO new students!  Davide, and Este!  A-Lei!
This week we reviewed our footwork (Air), we practiced distance (Void), and went to the piste to witness some fantastic progress!  Evident in the bouts, as the signorini are no longer just 'bull-rushing' each other, but rather waiting for the moment to strike.  There's still alot of work to do.  But reaching this milestone so early (THIRD WEEK!) is fantastic.  :)

On another note, the signorini selected their elements from the fabled "Elmo"  (That's helmet in Italian; not the fuzzy red puppet.)  L'Elmo does not lie, and true to form, three more members of the Earth team were greeted, and two more members of the Fire team.

"Yup, that's me." said Dario as he pulled the Fire Stone from L'Elmo.

As a reminder, the team a fencer belongs to is not the same as their natural element.  Only four teams have stones in L'Elmo;  Fire, Earth, Water, and Air.  So, lets welcome our new team mates!

A - Lei!
