Yep, I am now on winter break so I will be back for the next 13 days. That is great to hear about you and fencing. I have really slowed down on fencing due to time constraints,so most likely if you keep at, you will become much better than myself.

Yaaaaay!!!! Oh...gosh, I wish teachers realized that increasing a class's level of difficulty should not require giving more work! >:( |

Depends on the place you go to, like other sports. I've never been in an official tournament before, my first one's supposed to be in March. |

"ah, that sounds fun in the place you go, how does the training work?"
There are four classes -- basic (usually ages 11 and below), intermediate (ages 12-15ish), advanced (15+), and elite advanced (15+ (2)). Each class holds sessions at different times in the week. It's usually 2 to 3 sessions per week, but depending on which class you're in and holidays and stuff, that can change. Also, you can get private lessons with instructors.
Oh, yeah, and I don't have fencing on Thursday. IT'S GOING TO BE HORRIBLE! >:( |

It's not entirely based on age. It also depends on skill. My 14 year-old friend is in the advanced class...I was just saying that generally, that was how the ages were grouped. When I first signed up, I went right to the intermediate class, although I was brand new.
"And what type of training do you guys do?"
We do footwork, games, drills, and, at the end, we fence electric.

Sadly to both be academically and athletically advance results in little free time and little sleep. Even worse for me I work two jobs and a volunteer fire fighter EMS (customized my avatar to reflect this). So yeah, no free time, no sleep.

That's not right, though...something has to be done about this, because really talented people have to suffer every day because of their talents, and eventually they wind up hating their talents so much that they lose their interest in them... |

Hm...so, I guess the moral is the story is, don't put your talents in something related to education. Like, if you want to get a profession in something, make sure it's not in science or math or English or teaching or whatever else. |

I've only used sabre. Never foil or épée (gosh, I always have to Google that just to figure out where the accents are). |
