    Roz graduated, so I don't think you'll be fencing her anytime soon... She is, however, coming up to visit me before she leaves for grad. school and I'm hoping she'll bring her saber so we can have some fun...

    Yes, Salle Auriol is crazy expensive. Which is another reason why I'm not going there regularly. However, my saber coach says I can go there anytime... It is an amazing place with some very good fencers (although I must say my clubs epee team beat theirs at Nationals...). Yes, atmosphere is good. The folks at Salle Auriol were pretty nice. Of course, I was too terrified to really take notice at the time.

    Heh heh. Yes, saber can leave some pretty good marks. I definitely remember the EWU days when I did not wear a jacket during saber...I think that's why I have good parries... But now I just see each bruise or welt as a personal failing so each week my goal is to have less and less, if any at all. But a few little marks are okay, as long as your opponent has more...

    I was talking with Roz yesterday and she remembers you. Said you caught on pretty quickly and were pretty good... Coming from Roz, you must be okay...

    I fence with the Washington Fencing Academy. I've been to Salle Auriol, and my saber coach is trying to get me go there regularly, but that place is terrifying! To me, anyway. But I'm easily intimidated when it comes to fencing...

    My last quarter at EWU the club went to the Lilac Open at Spokane Fencers, Unlimited....I...I don't want to talk about it... Okay, basically I went in totally unprepared (didn't really know the rules of right of way, etc.) and while I wasn't completely last, I was pretty close. It was very traumatic. So it will be a while yet before I do it again. But both my coaches are wanting me to compete....we'll see.

    Fast, huh? Epee may not seem fast, but it has more of a calculated speed element. Have you tried saber...?

    Ah yes, the 'super' senior. It seems to be the norm with the Education majors. One of my other former roommates is doing her student teaching right now.

    Yes, when I came over here after graduation and started taking lessons, I originally was doing foil... However, after half my first lesson, my coach stopped me and asked if I was interested in epee. Basically, foil is not my thing. Granted, epee is his primary weapon so there is a little bias, but foil was not working for me... So epee and saber it is.

    Have you been to a competition yet?

    What year are you?

    Careful...I fence extended french with my epee... Good that you've found a place to fence over here. I don't know much about that club, but then it is a little south for me.

    Hey there! Your username perked my interest since I am a recent graduate of EWU. That's where I began fencing as well! You probably know my old fencing partner/roommate, Roz. A warning...I've had to work very hard to break bad habits formed during my EWU fencing days... I absolutely adore Mr. Page, but...well...the class format creates very sloppy (and technically deficient) fencing. If you are involved with the club, it's much better but is also a little too classical. Is Jessica still heading up the club? Anyway, sorry to ramble on.
