I love any and all posts on this site related to fencing, because I love seeing that there are so many other fencing Jezzies!

Clearly her plans were foiled.

Sabre fencing is way more fun than foil or epee!

And a lot of hard physical effort!

@MediasBlue: bah. Épée is totally the best. None of that right of way b.s., and no target areas! Anything goes!

...I ended up delivering a lot of crotch-shots.

@blackbird_pie: Oho, but with sabre, there were full-blade slaps!

And when you are as short as I am, tall guys ended up with a number of crotch-shots from my sabre blade. Mostly unintentional. Mostly.

We did fenced at my all girls' school. The fencing master had to gently chide us in our first lesson that we were supposed to move backwards and forwards and not chase each other around the room like extras from an Errol Flyn movie. We also felt going for the bare neck whenever the mask slipped up was fair game. Whoever said the female of the species is deadly than the male had obviously watched us fence.

@Ailatan Hearts BabyJane: How old is this song? It seems like the kind of song a 60s singer would purr in a James Bond film.

@Rare Affinity: Where did you go to school? I was an all-girls school fencer for many years, and I always thought we were alone!

@CollegeCamel: I went to a Grammar School in London. Meet me with the swords of your choice in Hyde Park at dawn and we will duel for the honour of our respective schools.
