I qualified for the Men's Cadet Foil Junior Olympics recently. I've been fencing for something like 4 years now, and I'm finally getting tangible results

Went 4-1 in the preliminary rounds, was seeded 8th out of 29th, meaning I had to fence the 9th in a Direct Elimination bout (first to 15) and win to make it. I knew the person I had to fence against, and I already knew how to take him. Won it 15-4. I then got wiped out pathetically in my second DE, but we won't go into that

Yeah, I realize this thread is a bit of braggery, but...it was such a great event, I had to share it with anyone.

Suggestions on what to do to prepare for the event from any fencers here? I already have practices 2 to 3 times a week, but I want to get some more conditioning in before the event.[/i]

Congrats, and since I don't fence, I can't make suggestions. But good luck.

That's really cool dude, WD!

Next round, do what Indy did and simply pull out a gun and shoot the bastard.

Congratulations! When I was in high school my friend went to the junior olympics for fencing too.. and she was kinda cute

I'd like to take up fencing, but I need to find some place locally since my #@$@#$ing school doesn't offer it.

Congratulations! Don't worry about the thread, I've made others bragging about less.

Nice to see a fellow fencer on the board. Pre-season for div-III fencing starts tomorrow, so I'm back to college....

Congrats. I recently started fencing, but have yet to rise above the basics.

Yay! Another fencer!
