True, its a philosophical difference. My thought is that two opponents who have never met or fought would be somewhat hesitant and feel each other out. So a slower starting fight, with a few false starts, is normally what we see. I've been in fights where we have circled each other, feinted and psyched at each other for over five minutes before the blades even met. Hawkyns I must say, I quite agree with what Hawkyns is saying here...and Maddogge also has fights begin slowly... I fenced since college and in competition I have not seen two opponents that are not well known to one another NOT start out slowly, studying one another at first and trying to get their bearings. Once an attack is launched, yes, then the action is fast, but then again, it often slows as opponents try to outsmart one another... we had the privilege of watching a very well rehearsed group this year... very, fast from the git go, but looked just that... rehearsed...like they had known and been practicing for years, not like they just met on the battle field.

Original shift circa 1700 white linen...wide neck w/drawstring and short opening down center front. Sleeve gathered into shoulder and into band at elbow. Elbow band has buttons for closing. Large gore at each side with smaller gore at bottom. Neck and Sleeve finished with bobbin lace. I think this size fits Cheeky or did you adjust yours?
