w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Midland</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">TX</st1:State></st1:place>.
We’re a small recreational fencing club that has existed in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Midland</st1:place></st1:City> in one form or
another since 1983. Our club practices modern Olympic style
fencing. During a recent practice we were discussing the sport’s
history and classical techniques. We thought it might be fun to cross
blades with some SCA fencers in the area.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
