| Just wanted to say "Hi!" from South Dakota.
Hello. I just signed up for a fencing club out here in South Dakota (No, we dont still live in sod houses and teepees  ). I have been wanting to start fencing for a few years, but I havent had the time, nor the means to pay for it. I am sixteen, hope I'm not too old or young to start. So yeah! Just saying howdy!

| Heh, I'm 20, and I started a year and a half ago. I don't think you're too old at all.  Welcome.

| Welcome Farm-boy,
But you do understand that when we say fencing, we are talking about sword-fighting?
J/K - enjoy your experience.
