| Greetings from Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, USA!
Hello, I'm a 17 year old epeeist, captain of my high school's varsity epee team.
I'm not really that unorthodox, just to my teammates, since they never seen an epeeist who can jump 6 feet backwards or duck and pick towards the wrist (my specialty).
I'm glad to be here, ad I'll probably just be hanging around here to check on some new drills, ideas, and/or tips.

Enjoy them, but don't fall in love with them. Welcome, UE! | |

I hope that you find the forums to be as fun and it is helpful!

| Hey I have fenced sabre before and it is fun in its own ways. Like the no-time limit, the oportunities to flunge...
I like epee for the time you need to plot out, lay traps for your opponent, etc.

| I know you don't fence epee, but that still doesn't mean you're not crazy. I mean you do go around and stalk people, or whatever you call it, and then yell at them to correct their grammar, spelling, and punctuation... Do you want to be an English Major, or an Accountant by chance?

| In order to be an English major I'd have to be English. Which I am not. And I'd have to be in the British Army. Which I am not.

Unfortunately for them, and possibly us, you had to go on a killing spree and mass murder their civilization...and that is why insects are now regarded very lowly.
