go to the thread "pictures of the worst fencing injuries" look at post #17 - YIKES!!

Hey, I didn't start just yet. I was going to go over last week, but I popped my knee at that tournament at BCAF and tonight was the first night I fenced on it since I wanted to give it a rest. I'm doing the foil and sabre tournaments this weekend over there and will talk to him more then. I'm figuring on starting next week since I work this wed night. I'll let you know how the lessons go! When I talked to Kim tonight, he seemed to think the lessons are a good idea, so we'll see what happens! I'll let ya know!

Ok, I know I keep saying it, but as long as I don't oversleep, I'll try to be up tonight. I'll be the one you don't know, carrying the fencing bag, looking completely shy and lost. lol!

Sounds good. I worked this week, but since I can't make it to the Y next week, I may come up on Wed. The only electric gear I still have is 2 foils (and I'm not sure they're still good), so I think electric is out for me til I get up the money for the lame and new blades. What's the address up there so I can GPS it?

Howdy,
Hey, thanks for the invite. Because of my job, I actually can't fence every week (like I'd like to). I told April that I can basically make practices every other week, so coming up to Carlisle doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm still a little rusty with my blade-work, but my footwork seems to still be there. I'd definitely like to come up some time...that is if you don't mind a 29 year old foil-fencing paramedic with her own "Padding" under her gear. lol.

Hi Dave! No, I didn't make it to Keystone Games this year; it was a bad weekend for me. But I noticed from the results that this year's fencing events drew the strongest attendance I've seen yet! Next year I plan to be there for the epee.

I don't think we have fenced - my last name is Segal. Maybe you remember something I don't. I do not fence as many mixed events as I have in the past. Since becoming a cadet-vet I find myself becoming less and less thrilled about the possibility of being damaged by male epee fencers - mostly the young ones who don't know their own strength yet - who feel like they have something prove against the old lady with the french grip.

I have fenced Terri - she has visited FAP now and again. Good fencer, I enjoy when she comes to play with us. I don't know many of the local saber fencers.

Thanks - when I saw the quote I cracked up. Where in PA? I'm in Philadelphia at FAP.

Heh....glad you liked the show! Bucs have been pretty strong the last few years. I'm looking for my Blue Devils to take #13 thus year!
