    Foil. Cos it rocks. and Alberto Nadi agrees. But please, lets not let this digress into another "my weapon is better than your weapon" thread.

    Poll is flawed, fencing implies it's not epee or saber.

    I compete with foil, but I use all three: foil, saber, epee, in that order of frequency.

    This poll is flawed... no Lancet!
    Well, The Rock says you didn't get that touch because your roo-dee-poo director missed the call. No, The Rock says you didn't get the touch because you absolutely suck!

    More like 'Holy crap I was desperate for ANYthing to keep my fencing hand in!' Moved to Hell, TX, no fencing to be found closer than Austin. Husband deployed to Saudi a few weeks later so even just sparring with (read: getting my butt kicked by) him wasn't an option. Stumbled across a local SCA group that held fighter practice in a nearby park. Worked out a deal with them so I could at least do SOMETHING fencing-wise. In return, I taught them cool tricks like parry-riposte instead of counter-attacking.

    Oh, I understand completely. After moving to Cville but before we started the CFA I was rather desperate myself and fenced for a while with the local SCA club until we got CFA rolling. They were less than receptive to some of my techniques however... Even plenty of fencing nowadays, I do occasionally enjoy a nice bout of cased schlager now and again.

    Heh! Also handy to have in one's hip pocket if a new student is leaking those 'real swordfighting is better, not that you would know anything about that' vibes. The SCA/re-enactment crowd's version of street cred, perhaps??
