    Hi people!

    Hi, I am returning to my beloved sport after far too long an absence! This is a great site I have to say, a great resource for beginners and well seasoned beginners too. I live in the frosty lands of Middle Earth...(new zealand) and am waiting for my new gear to arrive from Germany yay!!!
    Anyway cheers!

    Welcome, and welcome back to fencing! What weapon(s) do you fence?

    Thanks guys! I fence foil almost exclusively, but have dabbled in epee and sabre. Have been fencing on and off for around 14 years now...

    Welcome back, and welcome to the boards!

    There's no such thing as too long an absence to come back from. I returned to fencing after amost 20 years off.

    It'll be like you never left...
    Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

    ah- but the more you fence, the faster your fitness will return. Welcome back to the addiction, I mean action.
    You can train for strength & speed but heart must come from within.
