    Might be starting sabre

    Well I have finally decide to start doing all 3 weapons. The question I have is what equipment I need for sabre and how much to expect to spend on beginer equipment.

    Oh and I already have full epee gear.

    Mask - $70
    Lame - $70
    Manchette - $15
    2 Sabres - $120
    2 Mask cords - $14

    This is for cheap stuff all around, of course.

    Note I left out body cords since I presumed you'll be using your foil ones. If you don't already have foil gear, budget for 2 foil/sabre body cords.

    You could also go to absolute and get a 9 piece saber kit. It's about 290 i think if you would like to fence it.

    Oh, and make sure that your knuckles go all the way to the ground....

    Everyone's knuckles reach the ground, if only they will bend at the waist. I know that's tough for foilists, though, what with the sticks up their ***** and all.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    I know that I'm listed as a foilist, but I also fence sabre, at which I am actually better (but only when I bend over at the waist).
