You capture your feeling very well here and especially that „right now I feel like a knight really nails it in my opinion.
The images suit the introduction very well and the cutting work in general is done well. But although you are fencing foil it really scares me seeing you going on the piste with SHORTS! Some long sports trousers would do better in terms of safety.
Showbiz, schmowbiz... there's no way my coach would let me get near a strip without long pants. And honestly, the bruises I get WITH knickers are enough to keep me to that.
Congrats on the victory. If you want some advice, try leading your lunges with the hand, and don't "punch." The forceful way that you lunge is partly responsible for the "telegraphing."
"Point Quest" is a mini-documentary by my friend Alexandra Jensen a talented film student. It documents Alex's training at a club fencing tournament and features Washington University students and myself, Head Coach Bruce Sikes. The movie was shown during a film festival at a major theater in St. Louis on the big screen! Pretty cool... She is a very good story teller as you will see. Check it out!
BTW: You'll notice she's wearing shorts instead of fencing pants, but hey, that's showbiz !

But hey, I'm just a lowly "C", so what do I know?

Try relaxing your shoulder and locking up your elbow. I think you'll be able to hold a central line better but hey what the hell do I know? :)

Our art is getting so rare these days that it's good to see anyone putting up any kind of information that makes it look appealing. Good documentary.

@robertbrucesikes Hope your student gets a decent set of knickers before you decide she's ready for epee! :)
