I'm new to this forum but not fencing, currently entering my 23rd year. I started in foil and then moved to saber and epee. Quickly dropped saber when I realized I had absolutely no talent with that weapon (my bouts consisted of: missed parry... ow!... missed parry... ow! missed... well, you get the idea.) I moved to epee about 15 years ago and never looked back. God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll still be fencing 25 years from now. http://www.fencing.net/forums/newthr...ewthread&f=52#
Yay! Congrats on your choice of weapon and welcome to the forum!!!! Based on your description of your attempt at saber, i can tell you will fit in well here!!!
