Hey guys, I'm on the 5th Neptun's Cup
in Gdynia
of course it's a tournament of Modern Classical Fencing
and it was very adventurous journey
because the cup is on Saturday
and Sunday and I had a really
great idea, that I will come here,
because Gdynia is a city on
a seashore, so it's a cool place for
holiday and it's still quite
warm, because it's the end of the summer
so I had a great idea that I will come here
on Friday
it's a very long travel from my home, I live
on the...
in south Poland and
the cup is in Gdynia, so it is
the north part of Poland. So I have to
travel throuh the whole Poland, it's like
500 km...(310 miles)
600 km! ;) (372 miles)
so
we started driving
at the...
So I was driving with 2 guys and we started
our journey at 7am
and we were supposed to finish it
at 3pm so there
was supposed to be a lot of time on a beach
with drinks and stuff
and shooting another
Operation Fencing video
so plans were great and the weather was
amazing on Friday.
So we were driving and it was really cool,
we had some stops for food and you know,
like holiday travelling
and than!
We had one stop on a
highway.
And than we wanted to move on.
So we turned on the engine
and we couldn't change the gear.
At all. So...
we were stuck on a highway.
And...
well, we had to call for help
and wait for this fancy car
on which you put your own car
and than it takes you for the repair.
And it took few hours
And than they...
We went to this
place where they repair your car
and the guy said that...
Wait a second, I have to check the word!
So the car took us to the garage
and the guy in the garage said
that our clutch is
completely broken.
So imagine the situation -
I'm 600 km (372 miles) from home
and it's
Friday afternoon and
and your car is broken and it's
the most expensive repair
you can imagine.
So of course there was no beaching,
no drinking, and no fun,
because we were sitting and worrying that
we won't be able to go back home,
and on Monday
afternoon I have to
I have classes in which I'm a teacher, so
I cannot just take a day off, you know.
So it was a bit stressful, but they said
in the garage that they will try to
repair our car,
and today
today at the afternoon
thay said that our car is fine,
it's repaired, so
I have a hope that it will work
on our way back home,
so I will let you know on the Instagram
if I am home
safetly or not ;) Maybe I will be
on a highway again, stuck.
Hey guys, it's your
special reporter Miss Fencing, I am
extremely brave, because they are fighting
right behind my back, so there is a possibility
that they will kill me
and I won't see it, so
it won't be that terrible death, but
I'm doing it for you.
Nevermind.
The tournament is really cool,
we have
like 35 competitors from
the whole Poland and as always
there are 3 weapons, so a smallsword,
a saber and a rapier with a dagger.
This time we have a lot of
scorebreakers, with very high
scores,
people still have to do scorebreakers,
so I've also heard some rumors
that there will be
some changes in rules, it is really interesting
for all competitors, because
people say thet there will be more
elimination rounds, so
if you are a looser
you still have a lot of fights, so it's nice :D
but if you are good you will be more tired.
So good news and bad news, it depends
on who you are at a competition.
And of course I can't take part this year too
because my
mysterious foot injury is still a mystery,
we don't know what it is, but i have a doctor appointment at
31st of October...
October. So if I will know something
I will let you know!
We have 2 small injuries
at this competition but luckily they are not fatal,
so it's fine! One of injured people is my
cousin.
He has a really nice
crate here on a forehead,
but...
well, I'm afraid he will have to buy a new mask after this...
situation, because he got a really
strong hit with a rapier
to his mask.
But he could change the mask earlier!
Than it wouldn't happen!
Remember, always
buy a new mask when your mask is old!
Are we... are we similar? Beacause I have
2 types of opinion. Some people
are very...
(in Polish: zdziwiony?)
Surprised that we are cousins,
(he's not a very talkative guy, so
I will be talking now ;)
And the second type...
they are like "whoa, you are so similar!"
So I still don't know the answer. You see? This is
the place!
Really cute! You can go and
show it to people!
Now they are
reading who will be fighting with who
in quarterfinals in sabre.
People don't seem bothered.
As you can see, for
sabre fights you need heavier protectors,
so Tomek have protection of
his elbows, he has heavier gloves and
protection of his chest
and arms
and also
protectors of knees
are obligatory
Now you can see fitness.fencing
is fighting.
You can know him from my Instagram, we often
do a lot of stuff together.
He is fighting with Gabriel.
They are both from
Wrocław.
Gabriel is a fast bastard!
There was a parry and
the riposte from the right.
Tomasz!
Tomasz!
So what... heh,
are you happy with your last attack?
Yes! I just wanted to puch! Punching your opponents is really great!
I really appreciate it!
It's Wojtek again, let's see if he will earn
another crate on his face!
He's fighting with Tomasz, so
it's a dilemma for me, because
they are my cousin and my friend and I like them both
and I don't know
for whom I should have my fingers crossed!
On the right you can see the_fencer_dude
also from my...
my friend from the Instagram and he is fighting with Filip.
Filip hates fighting with
a sabre, but
he still do it, because he want to have some chance
in the
modern classical fencing thriatlon.
Without fighting in one weapon you have no chance
to win anything, because
they add your scores from
all 3 weapons.
