We have added 30 feet of full-height mirrors in two parts of the salle. Great for checking out your form. Or your hair.

We also have brought in a universal gym and a full rack of free weights, for strength training. We will develop some strength training programs to be ready for the new year, for those fencers who are interested in adding this to their training regimen.

Eat your soup!

posted on Jan 31, 2011

Don't blink, there's only about 0.5 seconds of fencing in this soup commercial. By the way, that's Morgan on the left, and Craig on the right. Two days of shooting, and the only fencing sequence they used was the salute :-/
