Lars Fencing 1980
If you're going to play with sharp things, then you need to learn to do it right. That's me - The Lars - with my back to the viewer in 1980. The Eugene Register Guard newspaper did a cover story of the city's Fencing club during a state tournament, whereby in this photo, I am the one losing the point, or Touch, and yes - the match. But I must say, that is a picture perfect lunge I made, only to be parried with a textbook riposte resulting in my loss.
I competed in Foil and Epee. While I learned Sabre, I never competed with it.
Albums: The Long Knives - Swords

...And great story behind it! I know just enough about swords & fencing to appreciate your comment on form (thanks to YouTuber Matt Easton / scholagladiatoria). What a cool thing to have in your personal history!
