    Hello, world!

    This summer, I was staying at college to do a math program. One of my friends who was also in town encouraged me to come to fencing practice with him, so I took him up on it, half as a joke and half because I always wanted to try fencing as a kid...

    Two months later I've been to a tournament, I'm buying gear (since the team doesn't have any left-handed jackets that fit me), and I fence epee every chance I get!

    Hello, all!

    Welcome!

    Good for you for giving it a shot!
    Often in error. Never in doubt.

    Welcome and enjoy.
    However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally take a look at the results. ~ Churchill

    I know, it's like we're mythical creatures... or something.
    Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

    Good for you! I hope I could try it myself. I've always wanted to try it but know no one to try it with.
