Stacy 0 #251 September 22, 2004 Quote Cool pics, though!! How hard is it to actually fence? ah, I fenced in college. Paid for books and stuff. It was the first year they let women fence sabre and they looked for women who were willing to try it. It was pretty cool actually, but reaked havoc on the knees. Sabre was so fast, a lot different from foil and epee. No long drawn out bouts. 1 minute or less. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #254 September 22, 2004 Quote Sabre was so fast, a lot different from foil and epee. No long drawn out bouts. 1 minute or less. as you reach higher levels of competition sabre becomes roughly the same pace as foil and epee... once they got rid of 'priority' completely (a good thing really did we need a coin to tell us who had right of way?? ) and switched to electric sabre, it became much closer to high speed tag...you no longer had to worry about keeping your edge 'in line' as the machine would register any hit with the blade along the edge or no... but you suddenly had to worry the tiniest of little hits that would have never been called (or would have been disputed/annulled by line judges) in dry sabre... simultaneous fleche's off the line became common. To stop the continual fleching they prohibited all crossover foot work. Of course one of the good sides was that the 'brute force club' techniques that used to be rather common among the sabre neanderthals nearly disappeared completely. i still have a few once nasty scars on my shoulders from people really winding up their cuts... some of the concessions to modern 'sport', equipment and safety ruined the reasons i started fencing in the first place.. I used to love the continual creating and breaking rhythm in sabre that wasnt as present in foil or epee really, but electric dispelled those tactics in favor of simple direct attacks.... the exchange became nearly non existent, or limited to nothing deeper than 2nd intentions electric in many ways was the bane of real 'de'-fence and the transition to pure sport... another reason you wont find any three weapon fencers anymore, the techniques required for one sub-disciple became liabilities in another.. you got 'paid' to fence? WOW. I barely got paid for coaching, but i really miss it lately.. once i heal enough to lunge again i'm probably going to start practicing at ASU just to get into shape once more... I doubt i'll ever compete again though, I was so sick of silly technical attacks such as flicks that were being accepted by directors more and more the last time i tried competing, and i haven’t trained in years since.... hmm rambling again... yea it has been on my mind allot of late....____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
