Looks like I set the right resolution this year! It must be some sort of coincidence or great planning for I have just been informed that this year around, my fencing club will be shifting to a new place, and with the shift, comes some new programmes, which include regular internal competitions. So that's one resolution that looks set to be fulfilled (to fence in some sort of competition/friendly match). It's a more "serious" kind of prep than the usual sparring/training and still in a safe environment, i.e. not external competition, which I'm obviously not comfortable with since I'm only doing it for recreation (my only form of exercise). A grading system will be put in place to rank the members and as my coach says, I "can't escape competing anymore". Haha..little did he know of my resolution this year.
Talking about internal competitions, we had a sample of that today and I won! Although I was given an advantage because I was a girl, fencing with the guys (3 of them)...hee...it was a good workout and great session, which really got my adrenaline pumping for fencing, although I was out of breath at the end.
It was a small class today as the rest were fencing in the novice competition elsewhere, but it was great because my previous coach (who's the boss of the club) stood in for my current coach. It's been a while and I think he's still the best coach (the current coach is not bad too lah), giving us tips and such as we fenced.
