Sometimes you catch the right photo at the right time.

Nice squat edition of the Passata Sotto by Tristan. Beautifully timed.

And yes, she was trying it get her opponent’s blade stuck in the opening.

Our rapier team gearing up for Birka (SCA) at the end of January. Fencing in small lists with wounds retained bear pit. 😅

Get hit in the arm? Can’t use that arm. Hit in the leg? Gotta fight sitting down. Go until someone loses both arms or is hit in the head or torso. 🧵

My relative, William Bettencourt, 1902-1967 was a high school teacher and co-authored textbooks for mechanical drawing. I wondered how many students remember using this textbook. His hobby was to collect wood nutcrackers from Europe. #Genealogy #BelmontMA
