Default Re: Fencing- what weapon is the most fun?

Oh, ALSO -

Warik brings up an excellent point in favor of a saber concentration - Saber equipment is expensive to start with, but v v v easy to maintain. An eight-year-old could construct a working electric saber from parts. There's no tip, no springs, no tiny screws, no careful weight adjustments. I find this joyous. On the other hand, as previously mentioned, the directing (refereeing) in saber tournaments is by far the worst of the three weapons on average. The actions are a bit complicated to make out to begin with to the untrained eye, and directeurs tend to come from foil, so their eye for timing isn't nearly what it should be. Prepare to get jobbed often.
