Another day, another video!

Back to Guatemala, now. This one has swords, fighting, travel, high-level sports, an anecdote, and illness - all your favourite stuff (except tanks - there are no tanks, sorry).

This video got pushed into this month by the over-run on the Jugoslavia video. I felt that the Jugovid had to come out first because it included the shot of my hanging the one-million gold play button, which can be seen hanging in the background at one point in this video.

It looks as though this month will have at least four and perhaps six videos in it. Last month had none. Had I been more money-motivated, then I perhaps could have dashed off a quick video for last month just to harvest more money from patrons. I'm not, though, so I didn't. My patrons are amazingly generous as it is.

Olympic-style fencing: a YouTuber versus a professional - you won't be shocked by what happened next

We are using epees, and one of us is using skill while the other shows what can be achieved with controlled panic. Some may note it odd that at no point do I used my far-famed long and supple legs for a lunge. As I explain near the end, I had food poisoning, and had spent a large part of that day on the loo. A lunge executed with gusto would have been unwise. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige Many thanks to Inguat (the Guatemalan tourist board) for inviting me over.
