| Really Lost, but somehwat found, swordsman
Hello, all! I've been around this site for a while, but I just registered a couple days ago. I am interested in fencing, but I don't live in an area where it's available at all. All I have is me and my trusty foil (and a couple books). I really hope to meet a lot of intersting fencers and have a nice experience.
Haha my first thread/post |

| Hi! Where do you live? There may be more available than you realize.

| Have you checked here?
There's got to be at least one club near you; there's a fair amount of fencing in MA.

| True New Englander..... Anything over an hour is a daytrip.......
But yes, I fence at Noho-- There aren't the numbers that there are in the Boston clubs, but the coaching is certainly very competent for beginners!!
Even Worcester might not be entirely out of contention- www.worcesterfencing.com
Although if you really end up loving it, you'd be suprised how quickly an hour's drive really becomes not that bad.....

And not wanting to travel far isn't limited to just New Englanders  so there. | |

| Welcome, welcome! 
Ah, I see you already made a wise decision: foil!
Best of luck in finding a fencing club and happy fencing!
