Post your rating here! Just interested. I am currently an E09, but my friends who are A's and B's say that I could be a C or so right now. -

Array Another triple U. I had an 'E' back in the mid 80s, but left fencing for 20 years before starting again. At 46 and still getting into shape, it's real work to fence 'E' and 'D' rated college students. I get my butt kicked, but and slowly improving, and having lots of fun. -

Eh, I don't think it's such a HUGE deal. While it may be a nice little ego boost when you win your first rating at a tournament, I don't think that when going into a tournament it is smart to look at your pool and freak out because there's a lot of rated people. I say this because in my first USFA tournament, I freaked out because I had to fence someone who was rated B. Letting that concern me probably made me fence worse, and not just do what I was taught during practice. Now, I try not to even bother looking at what they're ranked at. I just see what strip I'm supposed to be at, regardless of who's in it. I can tell a good fencer after the first couple touches. No need to put a lot of emphasis on ratings at all. -Kat (\__/)

Array E09, epee and saber. Hoping to bump that epee one up in the next few months though. Darn tiny Inland Empire Tournaments!
I've heard an A say "Once you get past C, all ratings are good for is scaring E's and D's." Sometimes adrenalin is more instructive than meditation. So, in between screaming, try and pay attention. -

Array D'09 in epee.
Been one touch from earning a C a couple times.
I stopped caring about other peoples ratings once, when I'd been fencing for a year, and I got a pool with 2 A's, two C's, and a D. I beat both the A's and a C, and lost to the other C and the D.
I could probably have a better rating if I lived somewhere else(Oregon is tough), but I'm faily happy with a D.

I guess it's not going to be too soon, but I'm going to do a 6g mild steel pipe cert. Or maybe stainless. Not quite sure yet. "When Fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and bearing a cross." -
