Done the course. It was hugely great fun. We fought with rapiers, pretty heavy stuff, see image.

That's medieval fencing. I'm back on it this afternoon.
Funny how i can now guess where quite a few of the typical Von moves came from.

medieval? I think such shape of swords appeared later...
anyway, have fun! and your remark about Von's moves was really interesting.

"Medieval" or "historical" in opposition to "modern sport fencing", that is. Rapiers are around 17th century.
I start to feel a bit "you know when you've been Eldo'ed"..........ahem....oh god I wish.

jesus, i thought that all present eldo moves comes form "master of puppets"...

Got a point there, lachert, there has indeed been a change in style over the years......from "in-line" to "full frontal" one might say.....
I think I liked the first better.

Here's my little "in line" vs "full frontal" Von style collection, from little snippets found on the tube. What's your favorite?
Here we go:
....this particular part from Marian @OGWT definitely gets me to vote for "in-line"!

...but full frontal is coming up big time, here!

This most obnoxious coat in rock history spoils it all...drop it, damn....

nice moves in pink light.....

leg spread in white. Class!

Oooh...but this one beats them all....."in line" again.

Topped here by this quite flattering one....



And the winner is : "in line" (with the occasional leg spread, a plus) !!!! ****s**t, horny again****

Well in fact, on second thoughts... yes sure he looks hotter than anyone else would... It's a bit of an acquired taste though.

Well, I really don't know anything about fencing terms. My background is different - been studied history and have friends who are fans of old weapons (which is also profession of one of them).
