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.

Welcome to the boards. I'm in NJ too. Are you over toward the water or more western like me?

**BOBP** · 02-28-2005 04:28 PM

Welcome Zasha. You made the correct choice of weapon.

**Zilverzmurfen** · 02-28-2005 04:48 PM

Welcome Zasha, great to have another épéeist with us!

**SamIam** · 02-28-2005 05:15 PM

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.

Wellcome Zasha, nice to meet you. Epeeist eh? I start with foil and now I am an epeeist!

Welcome Zasha, you're in a state with an abundant amount of opportunities for competition and good instruction. Enjoy the experience.

Ah, then I hope you never get to examine a rapier or Olympic fencing may lose you altogether!

oh, i doubt that. rapiers are good hisotrical references, but rather impractical. fantasy swords always struck me as a bit silly.
