Fencing needs something like this.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

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.

actually i take it back..accessibility isn't the only reason fencing doesn't work for most people.

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

Yes, and it's called http://www.whatisfencing.com

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.
