    Hey, how did you get my picture in there? (I wish.)

    More seriously, though, why is she leading with her right foot but holding her weapon in her left hand? Tsk tsk, someone should teach her some proper form.

    Because she is left handed, and her opponent (not pictured) just fleched by to the outside. She made a quick half cross-step to the rear in an attempt to make her perfectly legal riposte.

    Hence the position (which does look a little awkward if you don't understand the context of the action)

    Take your time. Read carefully.

    Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

    With the exception of the weapon itself, she might have just completed the first step of a fleche.

    I think it's well done. I was, however, half expecting a bunch of people to be saying "French grip? Pffft!"

    While I did just make a couple soufflés, I was referring to the grip.

    There's no need to fight about what is obvious.

    Naturally. Which is why I, as the clearly superior one, and who is also supported by the picture, have declined to fight.

    Are you joking? You actually prefer the French grip? The picture is supporting you? The picture is showing an ignorant girl who has no idea how to fence, thus why she is holding a French grip .
