Gordon and the fencing competition

Have I mentioned that Gordon is taking fencing lessons?  No?  Well, Gordon is taking fencing lessons.

He has been taking them for several months now and recently, he even took part in a fencing competition!

Lock and load!

Ha, I block ...

... and counter!  Take that!

Getting some tips from his instructor ...

... and putting them to good use!

This is actually the second competition he has been in.  After around 3 lessons, his teacher organised a competition in his class just so that the students could get some experience of how a competition would play out.  As he had only just started, and others in his class had been learning for several months, he didn't do particularly well.

This time around though, he was a lot better.  In fact, he even managed to get 6th place (out of approx 16-18 participants).

Well done Gordon!!

Also, Star Wars is cool.
