| Hey everyone...I just joined
I've just joined here a few days ago, I was looking for some fencing sites and I found this. I've only been fencing for about 6 months, but I really enjoy it so far. My names Rose and I'm from PA. |

| *Sigh* You are just envious, aren't you? We don't have to deal with tip screws, or springs, or re-wiring, or... That and sabre kicks but. And we can use the entire weapon! Not just poke, poke, poke! Whatever suits, I suppose...
Welcome to the board, and welcome to the most addictive sport there is.

| Welcome to the sport that borders on obsession. Nice to have someone else from PA with us. Don't forget- give epee a try as soon as possible

| Thanks for the welcomes! Some people were talking about fencing being obsessive, and I have to say, I have yet to meet a fencer who just does it sometimes. Given, I don't know a ton of people in others sports who just do it sometimes, but there seems to be practically none in fencing. The fencers I know do it aLOT. And even though I've only been doing it for a short time, I already wish I could go more often than I do. But I'm sure I only know the half of it  | |
