Bored? Try sword fightingFollow

Last summer my bro and I and a couple of friends where up north at our cabin/house thing....

Anyway we had a pile of 3 inch wood planks form our old hardwood floor so we made swords and shields out of them (did I mention we were bored). Then we fought each other, the point wasnt really to hit each other, solid oak planks arent that soft, but rather to disarm the other guy.

It was actually a lot of fun until I hit that damn lamp post.....

SO then after fighting for awhile we said ***** not hitting each other and went all out just then a squirrel running by got caught by a random parry and sadly lost an eye.....

So then we decided burning things in a fire would be a lot more fun and wandered off....

HEH....I've seen some pretty weird stuff when I go to comps to fence.

1.)I saw a guy **** his pants on strip...(that was gross...white and yellow don't mix)>_<
2.)I've seen my friend Mark Dembitz with a broken epee in his chest. It mist his lung by an inch.
3.)I was at a meet were one of my team mates was fencing a guy, the other guy lunged in a counter attack and tore his ACL on his back knee. His leg from the lower half of his knee down was all limp and floppy
4.)One of my friends from Brown U. that I just beat 4-3 in the 1 minute over time was fencing a kid from Dartmouth next. In the first action my friend takes a bell punch upper cut to the head. He ends up going to the hospital in a coma.
5.)Seen someone vomit in their fencing mask on strip. (That was pretty nasty)
6.)Seen a director grab a female fencers breasts to see if she was wearing boob cups and a plastron (Chest protecter)this guy was male and she had very large breasts(He's a bit sketchy)

I fenced for twelve years, mostly Sabre. Blew both knees out in rapid succession when I was about 19 or I probably would have fenced Varsity for Harvard.

>_< That sucks dude! I'm sorry. I have a couple of friends who had to quit because of blown knees. As it is I'm scared to death about blowing something. That would be the end of fencing in Div 1's for a long while. I do leg exercises every day to get my knees in better shape.

Where did/do you fence at?

Here when I was a kid, at the American U gym when I was working in DC. Also the Pentagon Gym has facilities, but I never bothered with them.

I haven't fenced in probably 7 years or so though. After nine knee surgeries I actually listen to the surgeons now.

Fencing's not exactly low impact on the knees, as you know.

WOW!....nine knee surgeries?!? That really sucks.

Yeah I've been to the Boston Fencing club a few times. But I haven't been fencing much this year because of work so I've been slipping. My coach is going to be driving me pretty hard come school time though. The last meet I went to a couple of weeks ago I totaly bag in do to weapon failures. It's tough to win when you go threw all 3 FIE weapons in pools. >_<

Yeah, nine. Only two fencing related.

It's a good sport, though. Very displined and structured. Good for kids, if I ever have any they'll definately have lessons.

It's been a long time since I fenced, but I hope to god you're doing electic, right? Otherwise, I can't imagine how one could have 3 weapons of any type "fail". I never had any problems with my knees, but then I got into fencing when I was about 8, and stopped sometime in HS. My school didn't have a team, and it was just taking up too much time.

Looking back, I kinda wish I had kept up with it. I was *very* good for my age, winning a few HS competitions when I was in Jr High, and competing well against A fencers when unranked in open tournaments. Who knows. My sister competed in the nationals for the UCSD fencing team, and I was always much better then her (she's why I learned to fight lefties very well since she's left handed, but I think the advantage handicapped her at higher levels). I just totally lost interest.

Besides. Fighting live steel at Ren faires is far more likely to get you laid... :)

Oh, I don't know about that. It depends who you want to nail, I guess. I think there's a definate class diffrence in the women you'd pick up fencing and the paste eaters you'd pick up at a Ren fair.

Allthough I'm explaining this to a guy named after an obscure Runequest diety so it's probably not worth the effort.

Champus isn't bad.

Me and an old rommie used to live right on the side of Philadelphia rd. We'd have traffic backed up with people watching us as we fenced in our parking lot... it was good fun and great exercise. For some reason we Always ended up killing each other the exact same time in the same area..almost everytime..

Once however, he actually broke the foil in my neck.... Hurray for padding. I have plans to get a set of Boken(?sp) soon... or those other ones made from bamboo..

thought I'd share... okie bye bye

That's largely what competative foil is like. You're ussually talking tenths or hundreths of a second diffrence in who gets the point. Foil particularly. Epee is a normally a little more clear cut because of the larger scoring area, but not allways.

I did very well at foil, but exceptionally well at sabre. I was horrible at Epee because I have long limbs and my leading foot would get scored on a lot.

I'm 13 and I'm desperate to take up fencing, but I don't know any club or place I can join. =(
I live in Central New York, about 45mins. away from Syracuse, if anyone can help me out.
