Hi Everybody
Lets see im 13 i've been fencing now for about month at the nearest fencing club. http://www.fencingclub.org/ I live in birmingham, AL. I fence saber and foil, i enjoy both but i prefer saber. I play hockey and i use to play soccer. So i have good cordination with both my feet and hands. I have 2 incredible coaches to help me learn attacks and stuff. Both are international recognized coaches so im learning good stuff.
I was wondering if their was any good cheap starter sets for sabre preferable electric. I also have my fencing arm (right) get very tired when i fence is their any strength exercises i can do at my house that take about 5 minutes, and some footwork drills so i can become faster with my feet. Please reply back with good ideas, etc. If needed i can provide more detail about how i fence, etc.

Welcome to the sport and the forum.

I'm sure you'll get lots of tips from people, but you really ought to do a search for footwork drills etc. there's alot of useful info to be found.

Also try out the Product Review section for tips and ideas on fencing equipment, as well as try a search (the search function will be your friend).

Happy fencing, cheers!

Sounds like you have good coaches so I would listen to them and take their advice on this one. You don't want to hurt yourself.
