....of Fencing that is. Well, not really. I took an introductory foil fencing class 3 years ago and was in a competition right after the 8 week class was complete. Even though I finished close to last, it was quite the rush. The funny thing is that my instructor was supplying all my equipment but he forgot the foils...duh! So, I borrowed a couple from someone he knew who was fencing for a couple years and I ended up fencing the guy with his own foil. We were both surprised at the outcome. He only beat me by 3 points. lol. Afterwards, he took his foil back and said, "Bring your own next time" and laughed about it. Hahaha! He was a good sport about it. My instructor was jumping and yelling on the sidelines at how well I did. I didn't think it was that great but I really enjoyed myself. Anyway, I'm a Minnesota Man. Ya, Sure! You Betchya!

Welcome.

So does that mean you fenced 3 years minus 8 weeks ago, or does it mean you've taken up fencing again..?

Welcome! You'll find quite a few vet fencers lurking around here (myself included).

Yep Vet Fencers....People over 40 whacking and poking each other with long thin strips of metal. Who wouldn't love that?
