    sabre will always beat foil, especially epee. what i find interesting is that sabre fencers everywhere look down upon epee fencers. this is proof of the truth that sabre is better. it's also better than foil. really.
    It's relative.

    You know, I still don't understand why we don't have a fourth weapon where we have a blade and full target area. :P

    Apparently he wants to slash people's knees. Bad idea, in my opinion.

    At Wheaton we always joke about combining the fencing club, the archery club, and the equestrian team.

    Epee and foil are merely early attempts at improving the use of the point of a sabre. They aren't real fencing weapons.

    While I don't care for foil, what about those oddities that like sabre and epee?

    What are foil ducks? Is this some rare subspecies of which I have not heard?

    It figures that a foil fencer would try to duck a sabre cut.

    it's what leftover foil from tin foil hats is used for.

    Except for the Tasmanian rufous yodelling duck
