From 7/13/02:

I was in a staged fight (from a movie?) with a guy named Takeshi Takegeru (who looked like Cary Tagawa). We circled each other briefly, then he got a short sword-type weapon from the wall. I attempted to get a short Japanese sword from the opposite wall but none of the swords would come out of their scabbards. I finally ended up using a very short silver sword.

As we began sparring, the opponent turned into a woman in red who looks liked Kim Cattrall. As we sparred, I kept hitting her before she hit me. I deflected and blocked all her strikes and hit her several times (but didn't injure her). I stopped the fight, concluding I had an arm's-reach adventage over her.
