Introduction
I've been studying French foil at Purchase College with Instructor Jared Kirby since the fall of 2007. I try to make it to the Academy whenever possible. I'm a New York City native but live at Purchase most of the year studying creative writing.
Did you know fencing is a western martial art?

Yes, though I had no clue where one might learn it or what it entailed before enrolling in Jared's class just to fulfill my PE general education requirement.

What interested you in fencing?

That swords are awesome. I stayed interested because of the beautiful subtlety, competition, deep history, and mental and physical workout the art involves.

What's your favorite fencing movie?

I need to see some good ones!

What weapons and styles do you practice - or would like to practice?

I only practice classical French foil at the moment, but I'd love to learn smallsword and saber! ... Or any other styles for that matter!

Have you fenced before? Modern/Olympic or Classical/Historical?

Nope!
