Martinez Academy of Fencing

I went for my first fencing lesson at Martinez academy of Arms yesterday. http://www.martinez-destreza.com/
I did not get to fence with anyone which was disappointing, to add salt to my injury it is also quite pricey to learn with these masters. But people at the place are nice this far and I would like to know more. I asked to train with a French small sword ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_sword ) so that is what I did for two hours last night. And today I feel some stiffness in my legs but not overly much. I was prepared for worse. I will probably do a set of four lessons to see how I like it. I have not yet been able to come into contact with another fighting group or Kali practitioners. Not that I have not tried. I was quite diligent the first weeks. But it is strange that people do not write back when someone shows interest for the thing that they make money on or they are interested in. Strange and sad. I need to get some work outs while I'm here. Work is really not activation for the body. My brain and hand might be working but my back and legs are dwindling away as my butt flattens against an office chair.
