Hello I have never fenced and there are no clubs in SoIL, but I refuse to let that stop me. I am glad to have found this site and welcome the chance to learn more about this sport. |

| Hi. Southern Illinois, I presume?
Welcome. When you start fencing, ask for a foil.

| Hey!!!
Nein is correct
The Foil is the King's Weapon, the Supreme weapon and not the pedestrian weapon (epee) or the vulgar, caveman-like weapon (sabre).
Go to usfencing.org and look for clubs in your area. Surely there's a club in SOIL...Soil, I like that. You live in Soil, the morass that is not fencing.
No time like the present to pick yourself up, grab a foil, and join the Sport of Kings!!!

Now it's all true | Sorry things that rhyme aren't ALWAYS true, just things that Inq says that don't aren't. Stupid epee logic.
Jeez, you fools always surprise me with how senseless you are.
