I'm about to join you in fencing research for an article I'm working on now. To get in the mindset, I'm donning my old knickers. They are a lot more snug than I remember.

Wait. You take off your knickers?

Hey, did you know the Oscar-winning screenwriter Sterling Silliphant was a varsity fencing for USC for 3 years and their team won the PCCs when he was on it? Allegedly that was the only reason Bruce Lee took him on as a student.

Did you know that in 1960, D'Asaro was the IFA Individual Champion, IFA Team Champion, IFA 3 Weapon Champion, NCAA Individual Champion, and NCAA Team Saber Champion? He also beat the Russians at the Olympics and the USA Saber Team came in 4th.
I don't think he ever worked with Bruce Lee.

He never really boasted that much about his personal record that way. We all learned it from each other and from bio material and such. He never said it outright like that. He didn't have to.

How he coached him for the Game of Death bamboo stick fight with Inosanto?

Well, we *wanted* to tell the story, but we felt we coudn’t really tell it...so here is another story about ME!
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

I'm deep into my hate for documentaries, fencing, and Michael D'Asaro. I'm slogging through where to cut twenty minutes out of a fifty minute piece.
But then I get an email from Poland with a photo of an article about D'Asaro. I google translate it by manually typing in the Polish. It's a short article but it confirms a story about D'Asaro losing by one touch to Pawlowski at the World Championships. It also confirms that even the audience thought he was robbed on the last touch. Moving back to Defcon 4

Okay. That was interesting.
Yesterday, I got a call from one of the people I interviewed for the movie. This person said they wanted to talk me about their interview. Naturally, I panicked. I thought this person wanted to pull their interview or wanted to see it before they released it. Ah, the film is ruined! Not so much. The person called to tell me that they were drunk during the interview. That they were suffering through a severe bout of depression and had started self medicating. We had done the interview at a low point. The person just wanted to make sure that they came off fine in the interview. Which they did. I couldn't tell. Plus, most everyone's input is hovering in the minute to two minute range. Fortunately, the person is now seven months sober and on the road to recovery.

I've got 2 hours and ten minutes of madness. I still have to add about ten minutes of side stories and narration and lose about 30 minutes of talking head goodness. I'm shooting for between 90 minutes and 100 minutes running time.
I have yet to add any pictures or archive film or animation.

Just for trivia's sake, I can tell you that Stro was accidentally stabbed in the throat on Wednesday Feb 4, 1976.

I'd jokingly ask what time of day, but you probably know that too.
Meanwhile, I've been running the numbers on your footage length and things to be added and excised, and, well... Something doesn't add up. But it will. Wishing you the best.
I'm nobody's pony.
