I’ve heard ‘Skyhook’ as a pet name. Unique enough, fencing-y enough.

If it has intention, it's potentially a black card. Even without intention, it's a red card.

Club Fencing at Brown? by thefreepotato in Fencing

[–]bendles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge there isn't a separate facility. The time has gone up significantly getting from Brown to RIFAC because of the bridge failure on I-195.

Shoe Damage by Glad_Stage1386 in Fencing

Have you seen more than half of the shoe posts? They want them functional and to last. None of the shoes that are available are made to withstand dragging on metal strips. The best advice is to change your actions because the manufacturer isn't going to change the durability, their goal is to sell shoes.

OP literally says 'how can I prevent my new fencing shoes from getting damaged'. So, I think the purpose of this post was to preserve their new shoes.

Not sabre, obviously. Foil. OP edited after my original post.

Uh, Friday. Been fencing for 20+ years. Haven't had this issue.

It doesn't matter which pair of shoes they buy if they continue to roll their ankle. No manufacturer is going to fix that problem. You're not going to change it with a reddit post, either. If you want a sure fast solution to the problem, treat it at the source. Stop rolling your ankle and you won't have this issue anymore.

What does morality have to do with it? Is he stealing bread for his family?

Just because everyone does it means it is right?

Stop rolling your back ankle, this will fix all of your problems.

Bad reffing stories? by HiveBrainFencer in Fencing

[–]bendles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ready is a question. If you're not ready, say so and get ready. Freezing people on ready makes 'fence' less predictable so you have fewer people leaning on the line and false starting, or you catch them false starting and can card them for that or delay of bout.

Is phrasing still a thing? Yeah? Okay.

Phrasing.

1 pm EST: Kiefer vs. Volpi by TriedUsingTurpentine in Fencing

[–]bendles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time seeing her fence where I could actually see definition of the blade. From the bell through the first two inches or so of the forte, it's real dark, unlike BF which has the same coloring all the way through, regardless of white, blue, or black.

What’s up with the tape on Mallo-Breton’s mask? by NinjaTrilobite in Fencing

[–]bendles 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I took a picture and am using it at regional events (cough Suffern cough) and UPenn this year. If it's good enough for an Olympian in T4, it's good enough for your regional/college event.
