    Since 1970. Longer than you have been on the planet, I'll wager.

    Hmm, at our club, we use the phrase "playing in traffic", which translates into "bouting with others".
    Anyway, to answer the question, I've been fencing for the past 7 months which includes a one month time out and 22 years before that, I fenced for 5 years. My skill level at present probably equates with a 3 year fencer.

    I'm just a newbie. Only since January this year. Trust me, hang around with these guys and you'll learn a lot of things you don't find out in the salle.

    I guess it will be about 2 years this coming summer. This site has helped a great deal for me as well.

    I have a Costello sabre from 1973 (dry) with a blue cord wrapped grip that I use for practice bouts. Like me it's all original
    and slightly battered. But, hopefully we still have a few thousand bouts left in us.
    Best $19.95 I ever spent on equipment.

    about 2 years for me. Although anyone here could eat my lunch if I fenced them The only points I'd have would be from the 'Ol "LOOK OVER THERE!" Trick

    First leanred in 1981-83 at San Diego State (Home of the Marching Spaztecs -- er -- Aztecs. Biggest marchingband I was ever in. 300+ people! GAD we were loud!)

    Layed off when I joined the Air Force in '84 and didn't get back into it until 1996. Started competing in 1997 and haven't stopped since.

    Too dumb to quit, I guess

    Big Poppa and Ron,
    I still fit into my Castello jacket which buttons up the side and my Costello knickers and plastron. OK, so I had to move the buttons and the pants are stretchy. I regret tossing my AFLA rule book a few years ago as I thought I would never fence again!!!! HA! Little did I know!
