April 26th TBF

[Don Conrad Uy - Tampa Bay Fencers]

Congratulations goes to CJ Smith and Tyler Thomas for their 3rd place
finish at the D-Under Category at the West Coast Duel! They both
achieved their D-classification. It is important to me that our TBFers
can achieve in USFA competitions. Go get the classifications! Awesome
job, CJ and Thomas.

Steve, you're this close, buddy! I'm pretty sure CJ appreciated a
comrade in his corner.

FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS! This Friday 4/30/10. Electric epee.Ten bucks to
fence. Another ten bucks to make it interesting (optional): If you
think you have a chance to win it, contribute ten bucks into the
kitty. Anything can happen in a game of epee! The winner gets 70%, 2nd
place gets 30%. If you don't have your own equipment, we'll try to
make sure there are loaners available. Starts at 7pm at the Kombat
Arts Institute 2020 Land O Lakes Blvd, Suite#3, Lutz, FL 33549. Ends
whenever. Usually after 10pm depending on how many show up. Please
respond to this email or to d...@tampabayfencers.com to let everyone
know you're coming.


Today's lesson: The Fleche
Most of you were introduced to the Fleche for the first time. It was
comforting to see that most of you worked out the elements of this
footwork. It's easy to overthink this action. Here are a few takeways:
- This is a single-tempo attack at outside lunge distance.
- The hit should occur BEFORE the landing foot (non-weapon foot) hits
the ground.
- There are two "launches" to consider, the first to start, the
second to clear the distance past full cross-extension.
- You don't get the benefit of your full reach if you do not fully
cross-extend your hips.
- Keep practicing this.

Thanks for updates. By the way do you still have this "warm up" list? If you don't have time to fix spelling maybe young friends from high school can work on this. Robert
P.S. Remember shoulder ex's in supine with left arm helping to move your right arm.  R.
