    Epee was my weapon-- I hated the concept of "right of way"! My best competition year I finished 12th overall in the Men Over 40 division. As far as equipment goes I always bought my stuff from Leon Paul in London.

    There is supposed to be a very good supplier in Burbank, California. Unfortunately, even though I drive past it regularly when I'm working out there, I don't recall its name. You might try the Yellow Pages...

    (I just checked, and the blades on my weapons are marked either "Leon Paul" or "Lame" [pronounced Lam-ay in the UK]. I suspect Lame, a French company, supplies the blades for Leon Paul.)

    MoR,

    Did you ever find that when (if) you fenced foil that the reflex to hit multiple times was impossible to stop. Many a time a friend would remark "you got the touch quit it will you!"

    Cheers

    Absolutely!!!!! Did you ever workout/warm up without a plastron to hone your self preservation skills? Boy, does THAT teach you to back up in a hurry!

    As always--
    My best regards!
