It's great, I wear gloves, a mask, and if anyone gets closer than 6 feet to me I stab them.

Sabre, epee or foil?

Is this a trend? A fencing academy has just opened on Long Island near our home.

Bkeats, now you made me go and look up the difference. If I had to actually choose I would say foil or epee, poking, not the slashing found with the sabre.

Amyb, I do tend to start trends.

This is the first time I have seen a comment about fencing on the forum and it comes after just learning the news from home. As Father Sarducci would have said A COINCIDENZA!
