I've read posts here for a few months and learned alot. I've been fencing Epee for about a year and a half. During that time, I've had my knee scoped twice(from Taekwondo). I have a great passion for fencing and plan on competing shortly. Thanks for all the great information. |

| Thanks for the welcome. Epee is the only weapon my coach teaches. So it is my weapon of choice. | |

| Inq,
Thanks for the welcome. In Taekwondo I was limited to legal targets above the waist. In fencing, I didn't want those restrictions.

| Howdy, BOBP. Hrm, if your coach only teaches epee, I suppose then you're a Phoenix Falcon?
(I suppose that's really a question, so much as a statement)
I fence about 15ish miles East at the AFC. | |

Brian | Thanks for the advice. One of things I've learned in life is you can gain knowledge from all sources (even those who fence saber).  | |

| Since you stated you are about ready to compete are you going to the Phoenix Open? Even if you are not ready to compete in that big of a tournament, you will gain experience just being there.

It really is one of the best places in the country to be. Make sure you head over to the Phoenix open to watch even if you don't compete.
