ARN - Modern Epee Teaching Workshop

[gtaylor]

Hello!

I went to the Training a New Fencer in Foil class at Palo Alto College
Fencing Club (modern, but they like SCA people) and learned quite a
lot.  Now they are doing Epee, with a focus on moving students to the
intermediate level of fighting.  Sounds good to me.  We don't have to
take the Tests on Sunday....so it's a Friday night and all day Saturday
thing, for only $40.00.  If you want to come, crash space can be found.
