    Sorry, the USFA site seems to be "resting" as I write this so I can't copy the exact link for you, but I'm sure someone else can provide it if you don't laready know it.

    IMPORTANT discovery!

    I - a rightie - found out last night that a point attack to a leftie's tierce side was very effective.

    I don't know if this was just my clubmate - I got him 5-6 times in a 15-hit bout [he's a touch weaker than me but not much.] - or...

    Of course a bit of angulation always help to get around the blade.

    Try it and report back.

    NB:
    This is my 1,600th post!!!!

    You're pokey, dude.

    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.
