I've launched our salle's new website (link above) and Jeff has succeeded in fundraising for and purchasing a new electric rig (which arrived from the UK in record time).

Elsewhere, there's new leadership at The Fencing Center, and we're officially invited to visit (bringing either floor fees or food and beverages) on April 19, when our class will be on spring break.

Coach Greg and his team of assistants are continuing to shake up the drill routine in exciting ways.  We're seeing a fresh emphasis on empowering the intermediate students to develop bout-responsive skills, such as choosing the appropriate reply from a predetermined menu (rather than continuing to repeat a well-learned single response) and more "cumulative" exercises (that is, building one step into the next), as well as Jeff's ongoing encouragement to get out on the electric strips.
