| How's about seperate events for Classical and Modern Fencing?
Classical - highly mobile, heavy on angulated attacks and marching, flick to the back still a high percentage hit for the skilled
Modern - no delayed riposte, counterattack rules, everybody wears chest plates.

No need, yet - don't need to squeeze into my size 34 LP Ultralight until February... and have 12 days of throwing myself off a mountain before then (where calories used is always greater than all of the steak, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue you can eat... ) .
