On Thursday evenings, I have been attending Gord Muir's Tsun Tsai Sword Fencing class.  This is a set that Gord learned from Master T. T.  Liang.   Our class is divided into an A Side and a B Side, as we are learning attack and defense sequences.   Gord demonstrates each separate sequence, then breaks it down into its component parts, which we then get to practice with a fencing partner.   Gord also gives each  student individual instruction, working on the finer points of each sequence.  His patient explanations and highly skilled demonstrations are always concise and easy to follow.   His in-depth knowledge and engaging and humourous teaching style makes each class a lot of fun.   The 1.5 hour classes are over before we know it!   No prerequisites are needed other than enjoying a good workout with swords with a friendly and enthusiastic teacher and fellow students.
