| hello, all
i've been hanging around for awhile, and have only just now signed up, so i can throw my two cents into these conversations. i did two years of foil, before switching to epee. there's just something about the weight of it. after three years, i'd never go back. i like toe touches too much.
i hope to get to know as many of you as possible. it feels like i've only scratched the surface of fencing.

| Have they started putting something in the water lately. What's with all the new epeeists? What the world needs is more sabre fencers.
Welcome anyway.  | |
