my work is my play play
every day pay day
People at my old club experimented with non-linear fencing, it just doesn't really work. It works a bit with saber but certainly not with foil. With saber people were doing what Kim Jong Ill was talking about scoring some very clever hits but it had a lot of complications, my problem with it was that it added so much extra complexity to footwork and people are so used to traditional footwork that we had a lot of people tripping over their own legs trying to move side to side.

This looks fun though.

Saber is the crown form of fencing, if you don't like getting bruises then go home. Epee is a very close second and when I was fencing I'd have been glad to never see a foil again.
