How Many Different Clubs Are Here?

[civiltech]

I am very curious as to how many clubs participate in this site, and where we all are!

I am (was until last year)a member of Superior Fencing Academy in Thunder Bay, Ontario. A lefty in Sabre!

What other clubs are out there?

Gack, and I thought we were bad with both a "Northampton Fencing Club" and a "Northampton Fencing Center" completely seperate entities that happen to be located about a mile apart. It gets fun when you end up abbreviating one as NFC and the other as NHFC... especially when the club is basically Northampton High, but the center is the one abbreviated NHFC... (the club is older so got it's abbreviation before there was a potential conflict). Okay, I guess we're still worse...

Black Dragon Fencing Salle, in Kenosha, WI.
We share the building with a martial arts studio and they hold the lease, hence the rather oriental name.

Hey, when did you use to fence there? I was fencing there about 2 years ago. I'm actually still in the area, I wonder if we've met before...

City Fencers, fencing out of Indroopilly State School in funnily enough Indroopilly, Queensland Australia... WE ROCK! We had the biggest queensland contingent @ nationals last year with 10! competitors. Most womens foil comp are won by one of our girls. So I is justly proud of all of them. Just a pity I'm leaving as we start to conquer the world! Soon you will all be in our Thrall! MWAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hey veeco

Was your coach K.Osborn? We fenced at Humboldt State way back in the early 80's. Great guy and a great fencer. I learned quite a bit from him.
