20051204 Sun OCD
Foil (only)
did good in pool 5/1 beat Marek lost to Jamie Wood
last touch vs Marek 4/4 I counter and twist, my back foot lands on the floor towl and I do splits - reverse direction - and still somehow got the touche!
directed Wood vs Marek - and Marek was PO'd over my directing blah can't even see parry repost, blah, shouldn't be directing blah. annoyed and disturbed me and threw me off when I fenced Jamie next.
seed 7
got to round of 8 lost to Anen 4/15
he got me about 4 time on the right shoulder - I managed to do the flick parry twice, but my repost almost all failed, & my feints were either transparent or I was unable to pull them, and he's hugely long, I didn't retreat enough.
renewed my D05
hung around to help with the Jr Olympics Quals a bit
then over to tracy's for El Pollo Loco & Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead - nice screen - with Cory, Geoff & his Mom, Bev, & Christina?

20051023 Sun
Swashbuckler Open - USFA-OCD competition
http://ocfencing.org/102305MF.htm
Did really well.
came in 2nd. got my D05
Figred out 2 different things! - on Nadia - Never counter attack while going foreward! - only use it on your retreat - don't know when I forgot that...
with Shawn Hart - after on guard pull back my arm - shorten my apparent reach, suck him into distance punch out don't even need to lunge just advance.
need to work on counter attacks - still doing them too much
did a few fletches - don't think any hit on target, but felt they were better done.
need to remember to disengage & parry repost! - when I remembered them could do ok - 6 parry repost lever over the top and down in - works great- forget to try it.
my disengages just arn't working any more -lost my distance.
less lunges off ballence onto my front leg - but still too much.
Competition went well once it started.
there was some OCFA=Swashbucklers miscommuntication which resulted in at least 2 people showing who didn't know what a USFA competition required. - one left disapointed, one (mom)left pissed.
There were enough strips to have gone faster - if there were enough competent directors - and there weren't. Tracy, Me, Cory, Nemanick, Parrish, Shawn, - Ramzi & Geoff to a lesser extent, not enough since half were bouting most the time.

went to Anaheim to the American Sports Centers new OCFA Salle - nice place, good setup.
Just Me, Chris Nezzer, Juan, Audra, & Shelley came from LB.
Tracy had a mini-competition going & we got there kind of late - fed us into it,
3 touch pools & 2 touch DEs. Chuck Beyer (lefty) getting good, or I just took too long to find my way about him, 2/3 in the pool and 1/2 in the DE (both him).
beat Nadia, Geoff (hard he's getting good), Thomas Lee, & ...? in pool
______________________________________________________
20051001 Sat LBI Epee
got some XS size shin guards cut them up & made a R forearm guard to block my arm strap
also got a reg size one cut up and lifted it for my R shin - over inner sock under over sock
and a ankle brace for my left foot.
over all they were quite comfortable and didn't seem to make any reduction in movement.
missed doublesr to win on Gegan and hale at 4/3 they both made it 4/4 and got the win
Lim - shouldn've awaited him - but he got ahead early and I rushed to try
didn't follow thru pretty much ever
Daisy Flores - pressure & go worked well, full cheat-lunge worked was up 5/0 until she realized she couldn't just coast :) then 7/5 then... 12/15 only 2 doubles I think - and one on the win. just a bit too much counter.
20051002 Sun LBI Foil
2 in the pool from 4/3 to 4/5 Wood & the tall one - I really think I could've got them if I hadn't started to push too much at the end - felt I was the same speed, but I think my blood was up & I speed up & didn't realize it well.
conow 5/2 should've been 5/0 got a red for turnin my back when in close (2xs) that flusterd me & let him get on in.
DE was Daisy again, and she didn't go easy this time 2/15 I kept counter attacking far too close! every time it was her attack because she never gave up the attack and pushed it thru every time. prob 8 I just couldn't figure her distance for some reason. but she sure knew mine. & knew her Right of way,. my lunges failed she caught every one & got the repost, I was stuck and over leaning and she got me before I could move. I got about 5 good parry reposts, but only the 1st 2 were on target my point control fell as it went on. but I coujldn't get enought parry reposts, when I tried to drawn her in with a fieght attack she just parry & hit, when I tried to do a disengage she got too close & parry & hit.

pool
U Winans 5/0 Swashbucklers made me work for it, but couldn't let 'em get any in a pool
D Panassie 2/5 gah, should've done much better, it was 0/4 before I realized I couldn't press him I had to let him come to me, didn't realize it in time, but I did figure him out before the bout was over!
U Quinn (L) 5/0 thot he might be more trouble, but he was hitting flat
E Dreeland 5/1 she was good, classic style mostly, but I could outreach her and used it
C Juson 4/4 then he got the last touch 4/5 but I pressed him well.
3rd of 6

seed 18
1st DE bye
2nd DE Dumkrieger, Gina C02 - was worred at first a C but 02 either out of the game for a while or never repeated a fluke. pressure, just outreaching, and parry with distance. 15/4
3rd DE Tarre Burgess B05 15/14 up to 14/10 then as Cory said he would he poured it on I tried to finish fast, didn't think I could time it out 14/13 then I changed back to using distance and looking for opening to direct attack,. on my final touch I totally 'saw' him move his arm up and down & open the target & adjusted my attack & right in. very on.
4th DE Alston, Tyler (tall black kid) D05 9/10 just tried to wait for an opening as Cory & Alexander Lee were telling me he's slow to attack like counters & reposts, alot like me. was up by 2 going into the 3rd period but I tried to push it thinking I had some leeway then he got it up to 9/9 on teh time. I won priority and tried to keep him off and just wait it out, but my feignt attacks either didn't fool him, or he just went for it anyway a lowline snuck in 20 seconds left. gah.
was a C1 tournament, because I knocked out Burgess there weren't enouh to get a B2! so no rank for me if I'd won would have gotten a D05
had some energy left, but no legs
$30 entry
$5 food
$15 half gas
around $50
need a new lexan faceplate for my mask, and new shoes.
Tournament was run ok, a bit slow, but they tried to get good directors instead of go faster, and I'd rather that than the other way around.

http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:Z6i0goABjKUJ:www.lafencing.com/pdf/LAIFCresults-MF.pdf
Geoff was in my pool - so his mom has the full stats
1st DE vs Vendl 15/9
then Alexander Lee 6/15
didn't even get it to 3 min. didn't figure out what he was doing quick enough, body twist didn't stop a single hit of his - so my counters were all his touche, I couldn't seem to gain initiation on call of fence, it was always his. I did hit several times when he did a pause or slight pull back & I would go in. I didn't ever feel exhausted and loose because I was too tired. my new Russian grip was working fairly nicely.
Juson in my pool beat him using new Russian grip but at 3rd point it came loose, and for the last 2 points didn't dare let him beat the blade or try much parry - afraid the foil would fall apart! - and beat him 5/3?
Stuppler 3/5 thought I should have done better, but not sure could beat
very tall French guy coming back to fencing after 6 years - a bit wild, but his reach was huge. 1/5 I should have done much better, but couldn't get inside his reach, or stop him. should have been a way. my disengages are all COL's bah, and my lunges suck, always on one foot or more a hop than a push, need to work on those.

worked pretty good.

Cory's Note's from Nationals
Aric div. 3 epee
Pool 1
Top seed at tournament named Murphy.
Aric obliterated the first two opponents he faced. He beat Hueman 5 - 2 then Pendelton 5 - 1 but suffered a loss to his next opponent, Will, though he should have had him. In his fourth bout, against Murphy the number 1 seed at the tournament, Aric was destroyed 1 - 5. Although Aric should have had two touches, his equipment failed him and he did not notice 'till after he had lost two touches. Then another loss against Fazio 4 - 5 a very close bout but Fazio caught Aric on the arm for the final touch. Aric won his 6th against Ziechman 3 - 5 tying it at 3 wins 3 losses with a plus 2 indicator. A very good score and hopes for getting past the first DE in sight.
Aric had a bye in the round of 256, then was up against the 57th seed, Aric only seeding 74th, Aric had problems are first but got his act together in time to resurrect a losing streak. He was behind 5 to 1, in the beginning but worked hard to tie it up at 13 / 13, he gained the advantage of 13 / 14 and then hit a double winning the bout 14 / 15 a very deserving win against a pretty good opponent. After this he was up against an upset, who seeded 118th and somehow managed to upset his last opponent and its no wonder as this newcomer was better than the one Aric beat before it was a tough fight and Aric lost 9 / 15 somewhere in the round of 64 - A very good show for nationals.
Nadia Div. 2 women’s foil
Pool 1
Nadia came out strong being the only unrated fencer in her pool. She lost however the first two bouts 4 5 each time, a harsh loss but managed to bring it back around again for her third bout against a very tall left hander, who Nadia with simple parries and reposts easily took care of. She lost 5 0 to a girl with an amazing parry repost, and the last bout went to time at 4 3 she lost. Over all fencing well with a lack of parry reposts.
In Nadia’s First D.E, She went up against the 129th seed, while she herself was 128th. At first she started having trouble defeating her, while staying ahead it was close. As time grew on it became more and easier to get simple parry reposts in, and Nadia succeeded beautifully at it. It was close but it ended 10 11 for Nadia.
Nadia’s second DE was against the number 1 seed, and though she fenced well she was out fenced and was defeated. Overall Nadia fenced very well.
Brian’s Regalbuto 50s veterans saber
In Brian’s pools he managed to get hits on everybody in the pool, and for some reason or another did much better against the better opponents he faced, Scoring twice as much as the others.
In Brian’s D.E. he seeded 25th and faced the 8th seeded saberist, who was rated much higher than him. Brian Came out strong and scored a hit early on. At 6 to 8 Brian’s loss, he managed to score three amazing touches in a row bring the score to 8 to 8. The next action Brian pumped up from getting ahead made the most beautiful parry and swung, and missed the repost by a few centimeters and his opponent then counter attacked and hit. His opponent wiped the sweat form his forehead with a smiling shake from his head in silent gratitude that he had defeated Brian, and as he exclaimed, “He had me worried there for a bit!”
All in all This was brains finest bout of the day and shows an obvious improvement from his previous competition, proving his potential at saber.
Nadia’s Pools Women’s Div. III
Nadia started out slow in her Pools losing two times in a row, but quickly made a come back slaughtering her next opponent 5 - 0 a triumphant and well fought match. Again she made a come back almost duplicating her last bought but got tangled once letting her opponent speak one in. Her next opponent was tough and she fought hard, earning her next win, but the one that gave her, her hardest time was next. Though it was well fenced she only managed a couple points - Giving her 3 wins and 3 losses, not bad for being the only U in her pool.
Her first D.E. she managed a bye and then faced a tough fencer who seated in the 50’s while she herself seeded 75th. It was a very good bout but staying one behind her opponent all the way and with thirty seconds left on the clock, she raced the last few moments to get ahead but her opponent was much better on the defensive and would not let her score.
it was a very well fenced day for Nadia.
Men’s Senior Team foil
Coach Cory Price
Team Captain Ramzi
Fencer Mike Parish
Fencer J. Shawn Hart
Seeded 20th, out of 20 they went up against the 13th seed;
When first meeting their opponents the swashbucklers foil team, was aware of a dramatic age difference. Frankly it looked as if you added up all their ages it would seem as if all of them combined would not equal any one of their ages.
First up was Shawn strait out of the bull pin. He was faced against the younger of the youngling’s, who was not only much taller but much more aggressive than Shawn and was able to out reach him and won the bout. Shawn tried to size him up, but was unable to in time, however when he got off the strip he discussed some tactics with their very handsome and debonair Coach Cory ‘The Master’ Price and was able to size him up for
Mike to fence the next time.
It was Ramzi’s turn to unleash a horror upon the other team that they had never known before being his aggressive self, He tapped into his opponents fear and him tripping over his own feat to escape from Ramzi’s violent whirling attack and was able to make a giant come back, absolutely slaughtering the poor kid.
Mike came up against their toughest player, he managed to score a few points but the other team got ahead, together working as a team they, with their Absolute Dashing and clever Coach Cory ‘The Master’ Price, they came up with Strategies for all the fencers they came up against. Though taking turns and communicating well. They could not compete with the youthful energy of the opposing team. They threw mike a Ringer, in place of the poor scared little man that Ramzi’s and Shawn beat so badly and thus their opponents were unable to get ahead, and the swashbucklers only managed 36 points to their 45 and lost. a heart rendering but rather enjoyable occasion. Shawn ‘The man’ Hart said after shaking hands with their Victorious Opponents that “It was the most fun bout I've had today.”
Tracy Div 2 Women’s Saber.
Tracy’s pools were met with frustration. She had been sick for about a week prior and was already not feeling well. She fenced the hardest she could and managed victory only one time. Though she fenced well, she could have done much better, had she been well.
In Tracy’s D.E she got slaughtered against a very good saber fencer, and was knocked out. Although she did not do as well as she hoped she came off with good hope for the next day to start again on new feet.
Amy Div 2 Women’s Saber.
Women’s Team Foil
Coach Cory Price
Team Captain Nadia Lee
Fencer Deborah Schmidt
Fencer Ellen Cox
From the beginning the Swashbucklers Women’s Foil Team was up against the second seeded Women’s foil fencing team in the nation. The first opponent Ellen faced was a very clean and well fenced Right hander, who managed to use deft parry’s and long lunges to beat Ellen’s aggression and even longer lunges though she did manage a touch. Nadia was up next against a very tall left handed fencer and was unable to escape from her long lunges. Although when she got her parries in, she reposted beautifully but due to her opponents height advantage she could not get inside fast enough to deliver the critical blows she needed. Nadia was fencing very well but could not seem to follow threw with her attacks, she only managed 1 hit.
It came time for Deborah to shine, Getting one hit and in a row bringing morale up for the team. She took advantage of her opponent’s odd movements and by pushing her down the strip managed to trip her up into critical errors, scoring one touché this way! Brilliant thinking her on her part.
Nadia Came up for the last bout and threw a lot of spectacular fencing she managed to score two more touches against the strongest opponent on the other team. Using her speed and quick parry reposts and excellent in-fighting she was able to throw her opponent off enough to bring the Final score to 5 45 a tough fight against the nations second best women’s foil team!
Beverly Womens Saber div. 3
Amy Gelnaw Womens saber div. 3
Tracy Div. 3
Tracy showed much improvement from the previous day, fencing hard and fast, showing a determination all her own. She Fenced very well, getting her parry reposts in, if a little slow, beating 4 of her 6 Opponents. She seeded in the 50’s and in her DE’s she slaughtered her Enemy 15 8, getting tired in the end and giving up 3 touches in a row due to slow reposts.
Her second DE was against a girl she had fenced before and only got one touch on her, while this daunted her she never gave up scoring 11 touches! Again with beautifully executed parry and reposts. In the face of defeat Tracy was excited to have scored so much on a person she had thought she had had no chance of beating. She came close and that taste was good felt.
Aric Mens Epee Div. 3
In Aric's pools, he managed to beat one opponent, by default. His opponent punched Aric in the face, because he thought Aric was a Viking and he was the worst pirate ever.
And then after that, Aric’s Coach Cory ‘The Master’ Price woke up from a small nap Aric started fencing. His first opponent was very, very, very defensive. He would stay one ahead of Aric, and not let Aric Get close to him. Aric tried not to be overly aggressive but managed to lose track of the time. The score ended 1 to 2 not in his favor.
He woke up and thought to himself. “Hmm.. I only have three minutes to complete these so called Pool bouts. Alright then.” And went on defeating Hetlich 5 to 3 in favor of Aric, Hetlich would touch the blade and instantly go to his cart, doing a counter to the outside low. This being so obvious to Aric that he managed to score two very easy and masterfully executed touches to Hetlich’s hand. Third was a man from Beverly hills named Lucas who beat him 5 1 Aric was getting slightly to close giving Lucas the advantage. Powel was up next and Aric beat 5 4, it was a close one but Aric felt confident he would win. It was only label because Aric sorta did a stupid Parry cart and let him hit. Of course he needed the advantage so Aric kindly let him take it. The fifth one was very tall and very long, even according to Aric, Aric beat him 5 4 on a double. Aric kept very good distance but lifted his arm to much letting his opponent score. Timmetti was the best in the pool, Aric thought he had no chance, but keeping his distance in check managed to out think and fence Timmetti 5 3. Aric won 4 and lost 2, seed 53 he started out seed 120 of 138.
Aric had a bye in the round of 256
Then in the round of 128 he fenced a kid named will p. they both started with a yellow card because neither of them which he won 15 6, when he got aggressive he would flesh, and Aric could easily evade and destroy him. He would attempt to take the blade but managed not to, he had talent but not so great. Aric was also much taller and handled himself nicely.
Jerry De’raad was his next opponent in the round of 64, he was a B rated fencer and not a bad one either. Aric fenced him very well, scoring hit after hit but Jerry switched up and started a come back. Aric started to get tired and fell behind without the energy to keep up Jerry won, but it was a close and hard fought match. Aric fenced very well and might have been able to take him had he had his energy with him.
Mens Saber team
Coach Cory Price
Team Captain Ramzi
Fencer Brian
Fencer Mike
The Saber team did well scoring several points against one of the top teams. Towards the end of the excursion mike decided to start moving his feet, when he did so he scored several touches in a row completely throwing off his baffled opponent. All in all the Saber team could use work, but they definitely show signs of improvement and development. Dennis had a few very nice touches, and Ramzi being his aggressive self was able to touché as well. As a side note, Ramzi does much better being defensive in saber. 23 45.
Being very young their speed helped them a lot, the Swashbuckler Saber team being older lost a lot of attacks do to their opponents youthful speed.
Mens Veteran Foil 50 and older Mike Parish
Mike lost to all but one of his opponents in his pools, and seated close to the bottom, drawing a tough fencer in the first DE, he decided to get his act together and managed a win, but lost his second DE.
Shawn Hart seemed to excel in the Pools in the same way mike did not. Shawn won 4 of his 6 matches and was seeded relatively high.
His first opponent was weise, whom he destroyed. Weise could not control distance and Shawn took complete advantage scoring hit after hit on simple parry reposts and counter attacks, well thought out and planned counter attacks. The score was 10 2 and Shawn was on fire!
His next opponent, one who beat him in the pools before 4 5 was an A rated fencer named Lutton, who is on the worlds team for this up coming worlds cup. In the beginning Shawn stayed right behind him, scoring touch after touch. At the end of the first encounter he was only one point down, it was close. 4 5, but started to rush the next one letting his opponent get far ahead of him. At 5 9 (Shawn had 5.) with 57seconds left to go it looked grim. But to the surprise of Cory ‘The Master’ Price his Coach of the day Shawn got his head together and managed to pull up to 8 9 with only a few vital seconds left to go. Pushing Lutton down the strip, he managed to get into In fighting, where Shawn was attacking furiously, the director called halt and everyone looked around in anticipation, no light had gone off.. why? Was one everyone's mind. The director looked sternly at Lutton and made a motion with his had. Covering target, a red card. Shawn had tied it up, with even less time to go Shawn pushed hard, fighting with every inch he had, and managed to get under his opponents guard scoring the final touch! Coach Cory ‘The Master’ Price jumped up with a loud “HOOPTAH!” in an excitement he had not felt in along time! Shawn had made it to the final 8.
His next opponent was a crafty old timer, and managed to beat Shawn 10 3. But It was a good fight, although Shawn could have taken it, he managed to out think himself and only land a few hits.
Shawn took 7th and metaled, our only metal at the nationals, a well earned one. So when anyone see’s Shawn, hart congratulate him on a job well done! He deserved it. His next years plans are to go to the world cup, and with a showing like that its defiantly a goal he could reach. When asked about how well he did he replied. “<>”
The Women’s Saber Team
Coach Nadia Lee
Captain Tracy Smith
Fencer Beverly Jenson
Fencer Corlis Rose
The Swashbucklers came in, in 5th place, while their competitors where 6th place. It was a tough match right from the start, although Team Captain Tracy Smith held the team together scoring many points in a row, and Corlis making her first Saber showing did manage to score points. Beverly also held her own, scoring a few points of her own. She used her aggression to throw her enemy off and score two points in succession. Amy did surprisingly well, scoring the second most points next to Tracy, but their combined efforts where not match to their opponents, and they lost a heart felt 26 to 45 a very good showing. It seemed to a lot of the fencers that they were not fast enough off the start, to compare with their younger opponents. Tracy lost a lot of points for slow parry reposts, she would do the perfect parries but her reposts weren't there fast enough.
Men’s Epee team
Coach Tracy Smith
Captain Aric Hershberger
Fencer John Rose
Fencer Cory Price
Seeded 24 out of 29 teams, the Swashbuckler Epee fencing team had it tough, they went up against the very good 9th seeded team.
Cory Price was first up, he fenced hard and managed to score 5 touches, while receiving 5, keeping the score even, exactly as it started. With Cory’s posting he managed to keep it close, but his opponent was much more agile and also posted. The next person was John who managed a few points but got behind. Aric’s bout was the same way, going into the next the team was close but behind. Cory Got killed by a giant 10 foot tall fencer, whom by doing stupid things Cory lost. This kept up for the rest of the bouts the end score was 22 45, still not a bad showing against the team who would later take 3rd place.

20050622 Wed Epee
late start as usual too much sabre no attention to epeeists, did some practice with drop deep knee bend drop to toe touch
did some warm up bouting until Suzanne was ready to do Epee evals.
1st of 99, still holding guard too high., poor aim at legs, get tangled in close, and too slow to double parry when disengaged.
2nd John 71 - his on guard is getting better
3rd David 67 - did well, good on guard
4th Holden?

20050618 Sat Swashbucklers competition #2
Epee of 4 - 1st.
Foil of 31? = 2nd
in round of 4 fenced Joshua - about 3 points in pulled something in my right thigh, couldn't hardly stand on it. felt like I was hopping on my back leg the whole rest of the bout. tried a lot of initiation of attack, since counter attack wouldn't work much - he'seven longer than me ! pushed hard to get back up to 14/14 and the last point we came together his blade caught low mine was high reached over his shoulder and stabbed down & caught his back for the winning point. had to call him on contact to get a point, but at that point going for anything was so sore. 15/14
then Shawn Hart gold medal bout - kept up okay, but down the whole time from the very start. couldn't do much in the way of moving - which is my usual style vs him, so went in for infighting - his specialty & managed some & kept him even too close to hit some, but he's got great parry repost so he kept getting before I could get in to him.lost 12?/15

picnic - bunch people but mostly didn't know 'em
Tracy bought stuff to make hoops and balls & we played (a version of ) Quidditch.
worked well, a fast and furious game combining elements of basketball, soccer, and football. lots of contact! for a supposedly non-contact sport.
needed a referee to call penaltys - would have slowed it down but help the overzealous keep from hogging the game.

Bye
DE V
DE D close one didn't figure out what to do against him in time, he got ahead early on and mostly kept it. The best move vs him was leap back out of his attack, then lunge after his attack fails, got 5 or so that way, when I initiated I just couldn't hit, and his parry repost was very good.

went really well, didn't really even _need_ the team sheet except to tell bout order - since the next box can keep the cumulative score up to 99 it easily did. only did 3 point bouts not 5 - and ended just in time. Mucklers won by subbing me in at the last bout vs Hubbell

then Michael Pollinger
then ? Alan
then Ramzi 15/3
then Tristin 15/5
I won! )
Went a bit long overall, and there were many times when some of the slower pools should have been double stripped to speed them up, but there weren't enough of us who knew what to do.
The novice pools were too large should have been kept to 5 so as not to wear them out. 3 pools of 5 & 1 of 6 would have gone much better for them, and the open could have had the large pools, since they knew how to do it themselves and it would have had more advanced people 'free' to run the novice pools.
9 strip were a bit much in that room I'd say 8 max. next time.
Laying the strips was slow and difficult with the classes going, also without help from Michael & Dwyane Pollinger I'd not have gotten done in time. (yay to them, also yay to people who stayed and tore down strips) Next time need to assign 4 people to job of stripping.
There were still a few director problems, even among the more advanced people, in fact some of the older L6+ people haven't had even the minimal director training that the L4-6 students get. Once into the DE's there should be a specific pool of people chosen to direct.

DE Marek 11/15 D he was always ahead one or 2 but we were tied a few times, stop attacks worked well (tho over used 'em) and straight attack into his whirl (much like Bob does) a few beat attacks too. 1st time I think I've ever fenced Marek for some reason - but thought did pretty well. He must have been one of the top seed since he got a bye his first DE & I think I only saw 2 Byes on the list, he placed 3rd.
don't know final but guess 13? of 26? Didn't sound like they were going to post the total results.
Nichoas kid had a great t-shirt - "Friends don't let friends fence Epee" with skull & cross bones

Did much better after got into it more, hard to not go for the double, but the idea was only 1 touch.
There was some confusion & errors on the bout committee tables part, but He finally figured it out.
They gave out places to 8th, I wasn't 8th so must be less - of 19 I thought. 8th place had 8 victorys so I was 9-11 or something close in there. Kinda odd they never bothered to check the foils even going into the final DE's but the Epee 1-touch were checking it all - another reason it was taking so very long.
1-touch Epee was over at 7pm - but 1-touch foil was still going on as I left.
Started up at 930 got home around 815ish.

Paul - wasn't very on, I did too many counters, but most were hitting, several were good in time stop thrusts, others he just missed his attack. also he was doing a beat parry and holding as he came forward allowing me to pull and hit before he could reparry it. counter into fletch worked 3/4 the time as he was missing lots & I was able to twist away from some.
Nadia - working on infighting, managed to usually block, but have hard time reposting, accurately from so close in.
Mike - didn't keep up my distance, need to jump in and out more.

oof
did balestra drills & reverse hop forward lunge drills
then parry repost drills - ow my arm
then circle of death parry repost
then bouted with Cory 15/9?11 got ahead fairly early, and kept it.
managed to keep out of distance for his lunges, let him wear down and got some parry reposts
several of my parry 6 reposts were good, but hit too high! and caught the bib
Cory got right pissed a few times as he was missing, or when he'd come up short & my counter would go in.
did one real nice parry 4 repost
then immediately with no rest! } Mike 15/12?13 was up nearly the whole way but only by 1 until the end. 9/9, 9/10 , 10/10, 11/10, etc.
managed a few when he got stuck in a lunge and/or missed - got several with coupe/feints - turned my back too much.
over lunged and leaned stuck on my front leg,
got a few hits infighting where I'd done parry 6 & our bells were together & I used his as a fulcrum to flick my tip over & down onto his chest
did that new hop back lunge but didn't really get a hit off it, but was getting more hits when I pushed him than on defence. - whereas opposite with Cory better off attempting to catch & repost.
Mike had a lot of offs, and Cory had several to my forward shoulder.
a few times on both they popped the hit & new timing didn't go off
really tried to push it - way can't I do that at competition eh?

Shelley drove (mostly) Me & Cory over in her 'rents Mini-Van, and it wasn't much trouble.
Managed to find the Flamingo fairly easy, park, and check-in without too much hassle.
Wandered around Thursday night and figured out where stuff was, found the Armory & got most our stuff checked in early.
Open Epee on Friday
Up at 630 so we could get some breakers before running off to check in at 730 then drop off foil for rewire for tomorrow, and Cory buy 2 Epees so he'd have something to use today...
pools started around 9ish
looks like there were 125 for Epee
Aric Pool - sent me to the back room (about as far as you can get from the main Fencing room and still be in the same Hotel on the same floor) & we got one of the only 2 ungrounded strips (too bad we really couldn't have brought up the 4 strips they wanted from OCD)
John Lartz (B) 3/5
Samual Gay (A) 5/6 - ummm tie at 4/4 then a double and ummm... 5/5?!? - & his win 5/6?!? they prob fixed it at the bout committee
Sim (D) 4/5
John Ridge (B) 3/5 - wow tall! older, lefty, & he posts. not a lot of technical skill, but with those 3 bonuses he didn't need much, had to hit his elbow before he hit my chest - just barely
Philip Hedges (A) 2/5
Milian (U) 5/3
not really the best Director - lost count a few times and the other fencers had to correct him, then during my bout he gave me a touch my opponent got, and didn't notice until my next touch, then had to figure out the score again... eep.

Seed 64
lost to both the U's, but beat both the C's !?
lost 1st DE to Daniel Berke (seed 65) - but hmm prob should have won it. was up 7/4, to 10/7, 12/10, 12/12, at the break, ended at 12/15. Don't know, I either changed or he learned me, or ... didn't think I was loosing my energy, but my attacks weren't making it, was getting some good sweep-up parry 6 reposts in earlier - but I stopped for some reason. and at the end my direct attacks were just missing short & he had the repost, I was attempting disengage attacks but couldn't close for the hit fast enough.
Placed 71
Cory won 1st DE lost 2nd DE
Placed 52
Mike placed 76
Shawn Hart placed 50
That same not really very good director (from my Epee pool yesterday) overseeing a foil bout Marek & ? did some rather hmm off calls. - but he was a good Sabre dir. - Mike got it on Video for review...
Open Sabre
Bev - no results yet
Back to the Jacuzzi in the drizzle rain.
Then at 700 the big finale last years winner vs. this years winner. all weapons 5 point bouts
Women's Sabre best 3 of 5 rum & coke with 1st free drink ticket
Women's Epee best 3 of 5
Women's Foil best 3 of 5 Brandy with 2nd free drink ticket
Open Sabre best 4 of 7 - rather flamboyant, very much the drama queen, hyping up the crowd,kissing the girls, posing each time he got hit - JR. very much the crowd pleaser, but don't think was very nice of people to be booing the other guy. it wasn't real close but it was good hard fought 4 to 2 bouts I think? Jr, last years winner won.
Open Epee best 4 of 7 shut out at 3 bouts to 0 back to rum & coke with 3rd & final free drink ticket. Cory's fav the tall lefty who posted - this years winner, lost.
Open Foil best 4 of 7 hard fought 3 bouts to 3 bouts, final 7th bout at 4/4 before the win. Annen, last years winner, lost.
They did the raffle in between bouts, or when down for equipment problems, mostly alcohol Escrime brand preis-de-fer reserve wine - quite a few bottles, some vodka samplers, brandy airplane bottles, also LBI entry fees, a pair of gloves,and shoes.
Slept for crap the whole time - but to be expected - never do sleep well away from my bed...

20050124 Mon Advanced Fencing Class
flat footed - not light enuf on feet - need move more small quick
too much counter attack retreat - only works less than 50% the time
lots of feints but not 'real'
not aggressive enuf
poor reposts
over lunge and lean - get stuck (and R leg very sore!)
attack and move body in before extend arm - in a body feint but doesn't work

1st DE V 15/4?5?
2nd DE Jearmy 15/12 V lefty
gah rrr director no parry riposte - but only what light went off 1st... all my parry 6 reposts were being called as his since his remise hit 1st. so eventually went to doing counter-attack back lunge for 1 light.
3rd DE Chris Conow (D?) 8/15 D from 3/5 to 8/10 I just couldn't catch up - he has a very strong beat/parry 4 and a good point control for a flick to the rear shoulder. when I got in and moved back and forth fast I got some, but I couldn't keep it up - no more energy.

Seed 2nd !
1st DE bye
2nd DE Mark Olson! again 15/13 again hard, less doubles, but he kept catching up and passing, it was 13/13 & I got the last 2.
3nd DE Chris Conow - Again! 8/15 ! AGAIN ! can't flick in Epee but he still goes for the shoulder - I got several nice hit on his hand as he went up for a reach out attack, but not enough - and again couldn't keep up the energy to move enough did an nice leap back and double footed leap forward to hit one time - missed an excellent knee shot - poor point control, tried the 'rest' guard - in down point at floor position but he kept getting me on my way up. might have been able to take him earlier on..
that was in the round of 8 so don't know my place, but nothing great.
Cory's nemesis - osama guy, the civilian killer, wasn't even there! this time pitu! on not going!
Tracy drove back dropped off Nadia & then Me at 730 after buying dinner on the way - yay Tracy!

20050121 Fri. Lakewood
fenced Michael but only on targets were low line in his club lame gah hard. 5/4?
Alan Fletcher - ha, 5/1?2? from a low loose hold up and lunge for low line hits, or if he came in quick beat up/parry and repost on his shoulder - was doing quite well there
John 5/3
Hubbell 5/3?
Deborah 5/2?
Michael 4/5
Deborah 5/2?3?
Hubbell 5/4
I can't remember the bouts really. but I was using that stance where the tip is almost on the ground and you feint with distance. mostly because I could feel the foil weighing down on my arm - not sure this arm-elbow strap is helping or hindering.
________________________________________________________________
gah - the wrist brace is too thick to use and fence - makes it hard to hold the grip and strains on fingers/hand
