New Members - How did you find Fencing.Net?

[derekjeter]

I saw this doing a search on fencing on Google. I'm very new (only been doing it for about 2 weeks) and was looking for any help I could get.

Hello all,

I began fencing 6 months ago along with my two sons, 12 & 14. I am a historian by day (ABD at UIUC) in Urbana, IL and a fencer by night. Did you know you can teach Western Civ through the history of fencing? I found this site via Google.

I began fencing in 9/2004 after watching my daughter's first several practices. I needed to get some good exercise and this looked like fun........
Now I'm addicted.
I found the site by mention in the club (NWFC in Portland, OR), and I think it may also be on their website.

After having decided to give it a go, I started surfing the web. Just entered the word fencing into the google search machine. Indeed a wonderful invention.
The site has many interesting infos - but indeed quite US oriented. But then, seems normal to me, after all that's where its been established, isn't it.

First found it through the old internet link dance, don't remember where I actually started, but is was while looking for some weapon repair info. Then promptly forgot about it once I found the info I was looking for.
I rediscovered it when Googling to buy some equipment and was looking for some product reviews to help in my selections.
This time I signed up as I found some of the info very useful.

Cheers,

[Go? Fencing?]

I was talking with my friend Brett (Epee Scherma) and he mentioned the site and recommended I check it out. So I did, the very next day. Which was today. w00t!

I googled my coach's name and this site came up because there are some essays he wrote published here.

I was actually looking for fencing shoes believe it or not...

Hi!


I moved from r.s.f. to fencing101 when Edew mentioned the existence in an email.


Have a nice time!

I just typed "fencing" and this was near or at the top of the list. I found the forum section much more comprehensive in its ability to answer my questions than the Fencing.net site itself, so this is where I spend most of my time.

[Heisenberg]

Like most others, Google. I was looking for some drills if I remember correctly, but found much more!

[InweCiryatan]

How did I find it. *thinks* I can't remember ...Arhggg, I've been brainwashed! Who would be sick enough to brainwash me? What did they want me to forget? Am I part of the witness protection program?

No really, I can't remember; I have a really bad memory. I might have gotten hear via google search "tattoo designs." Don't ask me how.

I am designing a high-tech target, and someone posted a comment on whether any such targets existed. I linked to that post from Google, and signed up to ask what people want in a target.

I've known of this site for a while, but never really got into the forums side of it untill recently.

[HeyGoalie]

Goggled 'Fencing Discussion Forums' i needed quick advice and hoped that would connect me to friendly people, which it did- thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and helpful.

[Symon]

I'm sure i remember someone on the fencingforum mentioning it!!! so thought i'd have a look! actually it may have been you Gav!

[aztecookami]

Howdy y'all! Was just tooling around looking for gear shops that ship internationally since I just getting back into the sport after a 5 year hiatus-i.e since moving to Japan. I googled black fencing gloves and a thread popped up talking about color in your gear. Saw what I liked and thus here I am. So yoroshiku onegaishimas!

[Zilverzmurfen]
