As always, if you have any questions, or feedback, I'm glad to respond.
This is turning into a book in progress for my class, which I am glad to say is growing. Please note my astonished look. Then again, if something is meant to be, it will be.
To anyone in the Orlando area who likes the idea of fencing, I know a place.

It doesn't surprise me that the approaches were so different. Music in the Baroque showed this: the French style showed a grace and elegance, it was refined and restrained while being grand. Meanwhile, Italian music was extravagant, extrovert, virtuosic, passionate and catchy. Listen to Jean-Philippe Rameau and counter it with Alessandro Scarlatti and you can hear beat. But as you well point out, the time to learn and refine whatever technique you use is before hand. The body must be trained to perform metronomically and each move should be flawless.
Kinda reminds me of driving, maneuvering, and backing a tractor trailer: Once you know the basics, are exposed to reality of actually doing it, learning from those experiences, and can adapt those to every situation you encounter, you "might" actually consider yourself a "professional." I've been doing it off and on for 55 years and those experiences and skills are constantly challenged. I deliver to job sites...no dock to dock...out into the mud and crap on new construction sites or additions/changes to existing locations. I get paid well and everyone is happy to see me and won't let me lift a finger unloading.
You certainly have a point there. I don't know how I survived 50 some years ago delivering to places I've never seen before. Sometimes it was a real surprise and challenge. Today, I ask for a new address in advance to Google it and check out the location and approaches to it. If it looks iffy, I tell them to get the destination folks out there and eyeball it. I've got a 70 ft rig to stuff in there.
