Oh you definitely got to butt.
Just go to the gym and go to the machines room. They have crazy machines there for butt exercises. Or you could just keep fencing, that butt'll shape up.

Yeah if you like sucking on uneven butt cheeks. Thats what fencing does to them.

Beats me, though I noticed this when I was watching Sada Jacobson on TV during the Athens Olympics. This also came to my attention while watching some of the ladys fence at the club. Women fencers have the absolute best figures I've seen.

There's apparently some sort of "buns of steel" exercise book that purports to give you a fencer's butt. Earlier post that mentions the fencer's butt book.

Butts are irrelevant! There's already enough work to be done in order to be a good fencer. The footwork... the blade work... the footwork... no butt work! The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

How does one train this uber-butt?
Is there a secret?
Or should I just keep dancing?  Well, the thing is that butts are never really hit in fencing. In other words, one can have a very large butt without increasing target area. Therefore, a good fencer will try to take all the volume out of their target area, depending on weapon, and transfer it into their butt.
It's foolproof!

I would like to post a rebuttal, but I cannot think of any arguments to buttress my position.

It's foolproof! ...you'd think that. I fence epee. I've got a kinda big butt and i'm a kinda short girl. Sometimes when i'm fencing tall guys at my club, we'll be in-fighting and somehow the'll get wrapped around me and I end up getting hit there. Sometimes their point would actually end up down my pants so now I wear my knickers all the time. But i'm not too concerned. It's usually just pretty funny and it's never happened in competition.

I get hit in my "special place" all the time (with an epee that is), but I've only been hit in the butt in saber, and that was someone with poor aim and a grudge.

It's foolproof! Not true in epee. It is not unusual for me to draw an attack in 6 then passata soto and go for a thigh shot. If the thigh shot misses, follow through to the butt. One test is worth a thousand opinions.

Oh come on! Next I'll be hearing nipplework is crucial to being a good fencer. What is this ridiculousness, buttwork? Am I the only one who votes No to buttwork?
I suppose if you REALLY NEEDED to train an alpha-butt you could tighten/relax repeatedly, or poop a lot. Or how about Plyo-buttrics? You bounce on your bubble butt for 15x. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

Bring on the gluteus maximus! Besides, what girl wouldn't want a seriously nice ***? I think it's a nice tradeoff from all that perspiring. Of course, one could really work it up by doing fencing, dance, and martial arts. Or I could just be overdoing it....

Humans have well developed gluteus maximuses because we walk upright.
Fencing and other explosive sports develop strong rearends. Take a look at runners, who have the best developed rears? Sprinters. Soooo... relevant to fencing, which weapon has the best butts in the biz? Whose posterior's are more prominent on the piste? "Since when does being a patriot in America mean shutting your mouth?"

Save for those hoping to sport one's rear in a lucky American Fencing Magazine shot, I submit that buttwork is unnecessary, and any work on the butt should be the result of pure fencing.
