Just wanted to share a simple message of making sure you use your gear when sparring or drilling. I got this nice little shiner over the weekend because I didn't want to drill with my fencing mask on. We were working on some simple Zornhau drills and after becoming lazy and used to the drills I got sloppy and walked right into my opponents blade as they were swinging towards me. Not a terrible injury BUT it could have been worse and it was completely preventable. So here's a pic of my eye after a couple days after the swelling went down and subsequent embarrassment over my own stupidity in the hope that maybe someone else will think twice about fencing (even drilling) without proper safety gear.

Happy Holidays!  :o

Sir Rodney:
Yikes!  That was close.  I'm very happy that you only have a shiner.   :o

Sir William:
A genuine teaching moment, that.  Glad it was no worse.

Thorsteinn:
Ouch!

Sir Rodney:
Jason, what's that creeping into your beard?  It looks like a "beard argent"!   ;)
