The Art of Epee Fencing

This is my first hubbook formerly known as squid book. It is about my experience with epee fencing. First in college as a Varsity member of CCNY Fencing Team and later at the NYTV club in manhattan. After 25 years away, I am taking up fencing as a Vet. 50-59 group and joined a club in Westchester - FAW.

In 2017, I returned to fencing by joining the Fencers Club.

Modern fencing is one of only a few sport that accommodate seniors in a real competitive environment. It is possible to fence well into the 60's and still be competitive. I hope you enjoy this book and learn the Art and Sport of Fencing.
