| Mainly Foil although I dabble in Epee from time to time. Not very good at either though.

| Only 3!?! This poll is flawed.
;-)
I compete electrically almost exclusively in epee, although I am enjoying the new foil timings and may do more of that in the future.
Electric sabre. No way.

| I do foil mostly, because when I first walked in the club, my coach just handed me a foil, and said "the other weapons are for when you're good." She has me doing saber a little to supplement my foil by making me move more and faster, and other great things. I have a feeling that she's going to have me do saber more seriously now, because I actually have some form of talent at it. Thankfully, I'm too short to do epee. (My best friend has to do epee because she's taller. She says that her epee is everything she detests in physical form). I want to compete in saber, but that would require buying my own saber lame, saber, and mask, and I'm too poor to do that right now. (I spend all my money on road-trip-competitions) | |

| I never understood the whole too short to fence epee thing. One of the best epee fencers I know is about 5' 6". | |

| Epee, and epee only. Nothing else interests me (to fence). | |
