If you're experiencing anxiety, stress, or isolation because of the #COVID19 pandemic: you're not alone.
Outagamie Crisis (920)832-4646 and
@NAMICommunicate
(800-950-NAMI or text 741741) are two resources you may consider.

A procession for the fallen Appleton Firefighter from Milwaukee to Appleton will occur shortly. We recommend that all media stage for the procession in Houdini Plaza. We expect the processional to arrive downtown around 12:30 PM. Processional updates will be shared on our page.

In all the years I have taught, everyone who's felt they're lacking in coordination, too weak, or slow to get it, all of them improved & made our classes better
If you are in my class and you feel you are holding folks back, you are not...not one of you...without exception.

Lovely to see people really settling into the style. In case you aren’t aware I.33 is the first known fencing treatise from around 1285-1340, in addition to a woman fencer, it also features men in a fencing manual for the first time.

Coldy and cranky. Fortunately I have these wonderful folks going through Meyer cutting drill.

Most likely Shakespeare’s “a villain, that fights by the book of arithmetic!” (Pub 1595) refers to the Verdadera Destreza of J.S Carranza (1569). But I do wonder if it is a general slating of all fencing geometric & mathematical, from Agrippa onwards. @The_Globe #destreza #hema

Ladies, if he:
-doesn't text you back
-is weirdly obsessed with one side of his butt
-doesn't like his sword touching yours
-name drops people like Christian the 4th of Denmark and William Shakespeare
He's not your man. He's 16th century fencing maestro Salvator Fabris.

Here we subtly disengage from under his elbow press, subtly hook our pommel around his throat & then, subtly wrench him to the floor painfully.
