Low-stakes fencing with a fellow student.

Key takeaways:
1. Fighting someone shorter is jarring
2. Need to defend myself better (too many doubles)
3. Need to increase speed and intensity of strikes
4. Need to follow through after hitting to keep safe
5. Feints were too telegraphed/half-hearted
6. Static in guard for too long

Things I did well:
1. Few times I was fully committed to strikes with speed and intensity and it worked out well
2. Though we weren't fencing to our fullest, we went a long time despite previous fencing matches against instructors (good stamina)
3. Often times when I took initiative it worked
4. Some of the grapples were good'ish
