I don't do anything very well, but I fence, cave, and make needlepoints of video game characters. And I like fountain pens and japanese stationery.

Well damn what weapon? I started out with foil, hated it and went to epee.

I do foil as it's the only thing my school really teaches, aside from occasionally let us mess around with the other two and medieval weapons. I'd like to do more sabre though because I like all the swinging movements.

What did you hate about foil? I like that epee has the entire body as the target, but the heaviness of the sword was not really my thing.

Thats awesome! Sabre is pretty cool. Fast paced but definitely awesome. If you like foil i could see that being a solid transition.

I never understood the right of way and was more concerned with just getting contact first so it ended up translating really well to epee. The weapon is bulky but once you've gotten used to using it its not a big deal.
