| Why aren't there more articles like this?
I have this article on my desk at the moment. It's an excellent piece. It is currently being discussed on the UK forum as well. Have a read - it's very interesting.

| Very interesting read! Is the equipment situation really that bad? It seems amazing that fencing can exist let alone prosper without weapons! (and without masks I would presume???) | |

| Well, good for Jonathan Green. He posted here in late September asking about fencing clubs in Cuba and such. Good job for him. And a nice article, too.
