I'm curious to find out how many fencers were have on the boards here. American fencers have likely heard about the latest scandals with the USFA (http://www.fencing.net/forums/forum25.html), and I'm sure there are some fun stories to come out of the British Fencing Federation, or even some comments on the FIE and the way Roch is running the show.

So, I'd love to hear from you NS fencers, whether you're a sabreur, play at foil, or practice the exquisite art of the epee. Amusing stories from the strip? Problems with refs? Complaints about the direction of the sport, or reminiscence of old masters?

Ex visual foil, 3rd and 4th in class at the NZ national tournament in consecutive years in the 90's. I've still got the gear in the storerooms somewhere.
