Introduce yourself to members of our group online, and chat with your fellow fencers about anything that has to deal with fencing: Foil, Sabre, Rapier, Tournaments, and even other topics, including Movies, and Literature. You can even start up your own personal thread about yourself and your fencing abilities, and have others give you pointers and tips.
