I just noticed today that you left me a message a little under a year ago. Sorry I never read it until today, I didn't know to check my conversation profile.

I really did enjoy your book, and it's made an impact on my and my salle's outlook. I fence out of Philadelphia, at the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia (FAP). At FAP, I've had many conversations with other fencers and coaches about the topics in your book. While I'm very far from fencing in the "olympic" touches you describe, I have modified my tactics, and helped others to recognize opponents AOE and alter their tactics to minimize the opp.s AOE. Your thoughts on fencing have widened the dimension of many fencers and coaches.

I really feel that your fencing and your book made a lasting and deep impression on epee and I thank you again for doing/writing it.

If you are ever in Philadelphia, please consider coming to FAP, we would be honored to have you fence with us!
