Oh, and once during practice I did the 'superman fleche'. I was fleching at my opponent, he stepped back, and I fell, still in the fleche, on the ground. In my defence, it was early, I was tired, and someone had just called my name.

hehe, 'superman fleche'. that's a good one!
at practice on friday, my glove was raped by my friends foil - he attacked and when i parried, he disengaged so the tip of his foil was INSIDE my glove. lol. that was pretty wierd.

Hahaha! I love reading these!
Ever get one of those hits when the light goes off and you're like... "I hit him? Where???" Happens to me a lot... lol

[fencingfrog]

yeah, but don't forget the other side - 'i just knocked you backwards, my foil bent and we both know i hit, but there's no light?' of course those are pretty darn funny too.

I lunged with a disengaging attack, my opponent went searching for my blade, missed, then lunged onto my blade with an attempted counterattack. My blade shattered into four pieces. It was not an FIE blade, it was old and due to break anyway, but I've never seen one snap like that. Rather than question his strategy, I credited him with having abs of steel.
