Making this extremely nerdy post this morning to say that I cannot believe I had a chance to be a part of yesterday's Sword Experience workshop taught by Adrian Paul at #GrandRapidsComicCon! 💥 My awesome partner @coshade gifted this experience to me for my birthday since I'm a life-long Highlander fan, and we've both trained in martial arts as well as doing our fair share of stage combat. 🤺 Many of you may not know that I studied karate for almost 15 years. In that time, sparring was my specialty, and I had just cracked the surface of sword form. Nowadays, I do a lot of kickboxing, but it's been a bit since I picked up a weapon. Doing the workshop yesterday made me have that rush again. (Along with flashbacks of being in theatre and fumbling through choreography. 🤣) Expect me to share video very soon of the workshop - including me (probably looking like a huge dork) doing the fight sequence we learned. ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #swordxp #birthdaygift #throwback #fitnessnerd #nerdygirl #nerdfitness #martialarts #swordplay #stagecombat #combatchoreography #fitnerd #highlander #90stvshows #90skid #weekendplans #worklife #workandplay #swordexperience #grandrapids #worktravels #conventions #conventiontravels #traveling (at DeVos Place Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqAU0lBjHTT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h7tfuu6pgha7
