| New to this great sport.
Hello Everyone!
I've never fenced before, but have signed up for lessons starting tomorrow!I've been looking over this site and reading the forums for a few weeks now and it has got me very excited for the 19th to get here. I guess it'll be foil first since that's what they teach at the club i signed up for. Anyway, thanks for all the great info...even if you didn't know I was looking.

| Welcome. My only piece of advice is: fence people who fence better then you, and eventually you will suck less.
