Default Fencing!

Hey all.

It appears that some of you guys have taken up fencing. I recently have developed an interest for the sport and plan to take lessons. Is there anything I should know, tips you can give me or any tidbit of information that may be of use?

Thanks in advance

Snowbird

Take Saber. I don't play as there is no place near me to play, but in saber you can slash instead of poke.

I fenced in College for the first 2 years. I think it was one of the best physical workouts ever. Also, saber is definitely the way to go. There may not be as much finesse with saber as foil or epee, but it more so imitates an actual sword fight.

Well, I have been Fencing for about 2 1/2 years now, won three junior tournaments and have created countless different records for myself, the least of which being 20+ bouts without being scored against VS one of our Fencers 8).

The First thing I would suggest is to start out with Foil, as it is much easier to grasp the rules and basic moves with it. After you have a rather good gasp of rules and etc with the Foil, you can move onto the Sabre and whatever else you may want to do. I personally stayed at Foil, just because it ended up being so much fun for me ^_^
