They're mostly a bunch of drones, but you should be careful, honey, or you could wind up in a cell. Just mind your own beeswax. The spirit is willing, but the fleche is weak.

This is a very waspish thread for a newcomer's question.
Epee != Api, but epee is the bees knees.

Advice?
Serious: DOn't get frustrated. There's a rather steep learning curve at the outset as you try to keep track of your legs, feet, back, hands, blade, motion and balance all at once. Practice the footwork most at first, because then you won't have to worry about it quite so much while you figure out how to use the blade.
A little less serious: Fence foil
Unserious: If the other guy hits you, try parrying. The preceding post brought to you by Rabid Monk (TM).
Rabid Monk: informative, irreverent, interesting, random and downright odd posts, done with pride since 1983.

Meh, that last post of mine was not commentary. It exists solely for the sake of the pun... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

I just wanted an opportunity to give that disclaimer.
