New fencing mom says HI

[sirona7]

Greetings from a new fencing mom. Started fencing with my epeeist son this summer and signed up for an intro class at Boston Fencing Club for this Fall. At 50+ and seriously out-of-shape, I know this is crazy. But, after watching for a year, I've just GOT to try fencing for myself. Wish me luck! Laura

Well, greetings and good luck to you.

I'm sure in a couple of months time from now you'll think you were crazy not to take it up earlier!
Welcome to the sport, and good luck!

Welcome! I started after my daughter started fencing, and found my sport--it's ten years later and I still love it.

Of course it's crazy, that's why it's fun. Welcome to fencing -- enjoy!

Thanks for the encouragement and the warm welcome. There are now two other moms who are joining me in the madness--as long as our knees hold out, we're good to go!
