Thanks Craig, and Marcos. I have duly sent letters to the editors to encourage them this is a worthwhile topic.

Gotta say, I really liked the Daily Californian article. I think it captures a good realistic picture of fencing. I like to hear things like, "statistically safer than golf", since that helps dismiss the reservations many people have about trying fencing. The title of the article is great, also!

HA! Naysayers, look on our website and despair! Craig and I built built whatisfencing.com, for one reason: To enhance the image of fencing. And look what we have wrought!

"Since then, many space-aged materials and technologies have been incorporated into fencing, making it one of the most progressive sports in the world. Kevlar (R) brand fibers, ballistic nylon, and shatter-proof lexan masks have made fencing as safe as golf."

Original story link. Weeee are the chaaampions... I really do think we're responsible for this.
