I fence Sabre. Have been doing it for 3 years. It's fucking awesome. Once you get the hang of the footwork and point control stuff, it all becomes second nature and the sport becomes a lot more fun.

It's a shit load of fun, and it's a bit hard at the beginning. But you get what you put into it. http://www.usfa.org/ browse that site for info

Current fencing rules are really dumb. They promote suicidal style, anyway épée > all other weapon.

Oh god, fucking epeefags.

Just because you don't sit there staing at each others balls for 10 minutes doesnt make it suicidal.

Fencing is a sport, not a form of self defense. Epeefags dont seem to get that

Fuck you, you know nothing about the true form of fencing and his reality. Go practice your "sport" and die without knowing nothing.

I took a fencing class once when I was younger. It's pretty fun. Once you get the footwork down it's not that hard.

Personally I enjoyed it. But be careful, it tends to make you become a bit of a smart ass.

Eurofag? I'm offended! I've never traveled outside the country (Not even Mexico or Canada.) much less lived there.

Sabre is always fun, though like kendo, I've always found the idea of presenting your attacks to be stupid.

On the note of epee, a funny (to everyone else) and painful (to me) experience was when we first started doing epee, I was used as the demonstration dummy.
Each and every time someone practiced the thrust, without fail it would hit me in the nipple, the exact same spot on the nipple, nobody was trying to hit me there, the blade just kept hitting home.

The only class really going right now is the Tucker class. The guy who ran the Kennesaw class is a slacker.
