| Having a Reputation
I know that I have a reputation/ nickname at my club as the Evil Twin. Mostly because of the areas that I hit are very painful areas that aren't padded well (Knees, Hands, Under Arm, Bib and Face). I was wondring if anyone else has a reputstion or fencing nickname. If we could keep the posts on topic I would really like to see some of these.  |

| "Stupid," "boy," "hey you!" ... Oh, wait. These are my nicknames at home.
At the club: "Squishy"
A friend poled me in the eye with her finger once and appearantly it was squishy. Unfortunately, the name stuck.

| I don't have a nickname exactly, but in my club I'm known as the one who actually wants to practice and fence, rather than just lie on the mats and complain about homework. We only have an hour twice a week, and I want to make the most of it! |

| Way back in my undergrad fencing career, I acquired the nickname of "Fangs and Facial Hair". I think it came from the fact that, despite having neither of the above characteristics, I was really aggressive. It generally got shortened to "Fangs" in regular usage | |

| Some people call me a space cowboy.
Well, not really.  My nickname is Chuck, given to me at the UH club to differentiate me from the 2 other Matts. The team captain, Santos, just pointed at me and said "You're Chuck." It stuck.

It stuck. | LOL we hav ea lot of matt t our club. I am one of them. So I go by Coach, or Coach Hite. Our 14 YO man goes by Little Matt, our overweight matt goes by big Matt and our High Schooler Matt goes by Matty.
Oh and the one of our drilling rooms is called the Mat room.
Beware of the Matts at HPF | |
