    Fencing Shirt for Coach?

    Hi,

    I'm planning of giving my coach a fencing shirt and I was wondering if you could give me ideas on how the shirt should look like. It could have quotes, pictures, and the like. Any information will be much appreciated .

    Thanks.

    My first year fencing, we gave our coach a shirt that had the signature of everyone on the team.

    That's a great idea but I don't belong to a team just yet because I just joined recently. Are there any websites that sell fencing shirts? Any kind will do.

    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    "When your opponent fears you, then's the moment when you give the fear its own rein, give it the time to work on him. Let it become terror. The terrified man fights himself. Eventually he attacks in desperation. That is the most dangerous moment, but the terrified man can be trusted usually to make a fatal mistake. You are being trained here to detect these mistakes and use them."

    Don't forget all the others

    http://www.cafepress.com

    with selections in searchable targets like:
    http://www.cafepress.com/buy/fencing/foil/-

    That and the previous two should cover just about everything out there.

    My fencers gave me a shirt that had a quote from me on it. They just bought a plain blue t-shirt and used the iron-on letters that you can get for sports jerseys. It's a really simple shirt, but it is by far my faveorite because it came from my fencers
    You have two opponents, the one standing on the strip, and the one standing to the side of it.

    What was the quote?

    "Distance!!!" is what I usually hear coaches saying.

    The quote was "Don't be dumb!". Another funny one I heard from a fellow coach was "You can't win if you suck!"

    Evidence to the contrary is available at nearly every tournament...

    This gets heard a lot at our club when people get focused on bladework and forget about their feet.
