I've been fencing since I was about 10, and was taught in the 'French Tradition; my coach was a real hardass, and I fell out with him. Now I just do it recreationally, and I've only stuck with foil, and epee.

Ah, I haven't been fencing for too long. Just done foil so far, and I want to pretty much master that before I move onto another weapon. Epee doesn't seem like my style, but I may try it. Eventually, I'd like to go for sabre.

I guess I sort of stopped fencing in the sense that I haven't been taught by a coach in around a year, but I'm hopefully going to go back into it this winter.

In the meantime, I've been trying to increase my point control and general accuracy by various means. Hitting a plaid pillow (The boxes make good targets, I suppose), stuff like that.

Recently found a little ball thing that's about the size of a golf ball. I've been hitting it around my carpet floor, trying to not hit the floor (I can tell due to the distinct brush sound, and you can usually just feel it), and also trying to hit the ball itself. Trying to see how fast I can get it to roll then immediately make it stop by simply putting the tip of my foil in the way.

I dunno, probably really weird, and I probably just suck at accuracy.

How exactly does it work "recreationally", by the way? Do you just kinda practice on your own, or do you just fence with a few other people for shits n giggles?
