You made a few posts on my page so I thought I'd have a gander at yours and I'm impressed. I like the same authors...just finished hollow choclate bunnies of the apoclypse & nightwatch recently. Also I do fencing, I like foil best because (and this probably isn't true at the higher levels) people always seem to treat a sabre as a bludgeoning instrument wheras in foil theres a lot more style - pretty circular parrys and compound attacks...I have never tried epee but think it could be more interesting - but I dunno, looking at others fencing epee it seems to be over very quickly, then maybe there was a mismatch.

Oh well thats all I wanted to say - enjoy yourself.

Hello there. Yes us fencers seem to just find each other! Sabre should be very delicate but often comes down to a broad sword stuyle approach. as a weakling female i find epee difficult coz it's hard to hold such a heavy weapon for a long time but you don't have to wear a lame which is a bonus. may i introduce you to my boyfirned BBBB (big bad bolshevik bob) or someone you know and his best mate covert bob? you will find them in my conversations check out their pages too.

Kewl, I'll get round to that.

As a weakling male I prefer parries to blocks, I don't have the stamina to hold the damn thing when my opponent decides the beat is the best thing since sliced bread (Fortunately I've got quite good at disengaging to hit which doesn't require much effort)

I like to think I make up for my lack of strength with finessce (That and nice long arms)

Introduce me to whomever you want. I may go and look at those pages in a minute - but I have a few conversations to reply to first.

And yes I do know VIP - she goes to the same university as me and introduced me to h2g2. I'm still amiguious as to whethere thats a good thing - I seem to have less free time these days...

Ive got 10 mins before I have to go offline and to a lecture. But I'll pop over say hi. I've been fencing just one year. Know what a flick hit is...seen em done...got hit...couldn't do it to save my life.


Good Work!

Hi, am sorry i missed you yesterday. Decided I really ought to get a move on so left the convo.
I've never been taught to do a flivck hit but apparently the key to avoiding them is to get in close to your opponent.
