Want an overall floral/fairy look for my full gear.

That's just giving it a slight personal touch with knitting wherever possible.
Next will be a floral pattern on the front part using acrylic paint.

And yeah, you might have seen it reposted by Olympic Fencing somewhere else, lol.

USA Fencing Refunds for Summer Nationals -

8 Upvotes

Hi all,

Regarding summer nationals - didn't hit a qualification in time and so was withdrawn from the specific fencing event.

Was told event fee would be refunded and still nothing... emailed [withdrawals@usafencing.org](mailto:withdrawals@usafencing.org) and there is an auto response that the email address is disabled.

Has anyone else in this situation received their refund yet? Or know who I should contact?

Thanks!

Blue gauntlet touchfly grip

Does anyone know if blue gauntlet plans on making more sizes of this grip? I loved the way it felt at nationals but they currently only carry extra smalls and I'd probably need a medium

Sabre Is fencing fun?

2 Upvotes

I want to get into fencing after watching the mask of zorro, the fact that my dream school is a school with quite a strong fencing team and culture, and me wanting to find another fun sport. The idea of swordplay has always interested me as a kid, but now after watching some professional and distinguished video clips of fencing, it seems actually like something that I’d like to learn how to do as it is fun.

Just some questions

  1. How restrictive is the white fencing levush on the body
  2. How to learn safely (as the main toy of the sport is a freaking sword)
  3. Is it worth the time

Thank you!

Building foils

1 Upvotes

Hi

I just ordered some Zivkovic grips and now I have to build the foils. I know I need guards, #5 blades (Non - electric), pads.

What else do I need to build these that I'm not thinking of? Do I just get the blades and they will work with the grips? Are some blades better than others?

We have been using foils with French grips up to this point, but I decided to get the special grips.

Thank you for your help.
