| Fencing needs something like this.
A site like this (for fencing), would make fencing so much easier to get into. www.tenniswelcomecenter.com

| that is a well designed website but the usfa doesn't want to have to pay for that  unfortunately, the problem is the same: fencing is not as accessible as tennis. |

| I think that's DFP's point: Fencing needs stuff like that to become more accesible.

| Isn't there a spin-off of this very site that is just this sort of introduction to the sport?

Back when wflashka and other where writing a lot, this site got updated pretty often. Right now I don't think there is anything new on it, but it is still a very good intro to the sport. The problem is that it doesn't show up too much on Google because it isn't linked to much. More people should link to it.
