Aye! Avas!

Last weekend I had a great opportunity to hone my weaponry skills. --Honestly, I thought the wrapping paper roll wars my sisters and I had growing up would have better prepared me. Fencing was really hard! But really fun! :D

First, we all went in and got suited up. This included: the sweet vest body suits, the masks, the foils and for the girls chest protection... I wish I would have thought to get a picture of the "Xena bra" as our teacher had dubbed them.



The teacher gave us a short lesson and then let us go out each other with our foils. It got more and more comfortable the more we played, but I really was surprised at how difficult and uncomfortable it felt. [I will never look at The Princess Bride or Pirate of the Carribean the same way again.]

The guys we went with made a reservation before we went. I don't know as many of the details of setting this up because they took care of everything. The facility we went to was in Orem and some more facility details can be found here and here.
