| New Fencer Here
Hey!
I'm new here (obviously  ). I'm also new to fencing; I've been doing it about 7 or 8 months. If you are wondering, I do fence foil, but thats because thats what I'm first taught on. I assume eventually they'll let us switch (if we want to), and I'm thinking about switching to sabre, because I've done it a few times and its pretty fun.
So....otherwise, I live in the U.S., I don't want to say where exactly. The northern east coast is as specific as I'll get. I'm also young, still in high school.
And thats all, I suppose!

| Welcome September! Sabre is such a cool weapon to fence and I hope you do eventually switch to it.

| Welcome to the forum September. You are in good hands here. I switched from foil to saber after nine months and have not looked back. Keep your options open. Your weapon will find you.

| Welcome September! I'm sure you'll find these boards as welcoming and helpful as I have.
Your handle reminds me of one of my favorite songs: "September" from Earth Wind & Fire
Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Etc.,etc.
