    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!

    Nice to have another high school foilist whose location is somewhere in the north east (on the coast, in your case) with us!

    WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

    Hope you enjoy the board!

    Hi there!

    Welcome to the forum - I haven't been fencing for very long myself, but there's an awful lot of good advice and experience here, very helpful stuff indeed!

    Enjoy your stay!

    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.

    hi, hey, and hello, and welcome to the forum!
    I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

    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.
