Fencing! You seem super busy, but I hope you get time for fencing soon.

Man, staring with epee. I bet that was hard? Almost everyone I know who fences epee started with foil, which at least gives you the point control and everything (which I totally do not have). Everyone here is really confused that I started with sabre, but I think it's a different enough weapon from the other two that starting with foil really wouldn't have helped. Also, I am totally not made for thinking at all. Sabre is mostly instinct for me, there's just no time for making actual decisions during the bout.

I should totally try epee sometime - maybe I'll convince one of the guys here to try a bout even though I will probably hit too hard and get drunk on the power to make cross-steps.
