| "Oh I didn't mean to do that" That is unless the light goes on. And then of course it's "Oh Yeah"

| Mine is known as the D'Art Destroyer (obviously!), though I haven't used it for a while. It is worth the entry fee on it's own if you are blessed enough to witness it.

| The "Whup--there it is!"
Break distance, stand up, act all casual and cheesy. Let your weapon drag the floor. Let 'em come then bring down the stop hit! Then you get to yell "Whup--there it is!" | |

| A beginner Japanese fencer once saw me fleche and shouted: "Gaijin Flash!!"
So, I guess that now my fleche is the Gaijin Flash. | |

Yellow card for dragging the point on the strip. On guard... | |
