Doing Tournament right-handed

May 21, 2011 17:35

Friday afternoon, at a Catholic school in further East of Melbourne. Find my shield is not in the car. Find that neither of my metal gauntlets are in my armour bag. Must have left them at the school on Thursday.

Assessing what bits and pieces I did have left me with the conclusion that I would have to do Tournament right-handed.

This worked much better than I expected. So, in doing the wrap-up comments, I mentioned that I was left-handed and had not fought right-handed in years.

It was, as my assisting presenter said when we were packing up, a Princess Bride moment. (Since he was a small child when it came out, it shows it has entered the culture!)

UPDATE: Have recovered my shield and gauntlets from said school :)
