 My good buddy, Robert Reed, is a freelance photographer in addition to being an A rated Epee fencer. He fences at ATAC, and I've spent a whole lotta hours on the road and in cheap hotels with him.  Anyway, I like this site because it has a lot of my friends in it!  You may recognize some of them. Enjoy! www.rmrphotos.smugmug.com |

www.oxfordfencing.com/Fencing…<br>Fencing is the Olympic sport of sword-fighting that teaches discipline, dexterity and endurance. You use footwork and handwork to score touches on your opponent with the tip of your blade. There are three weapons in fencing: the Foil, Épeé and Sabre. (More...) It's fun and easy to try! (Who, when, where.) Kids love fencing! (What do they say?) What does fencing look like? (Pictures.) Fencing information is all over the web! (Short list.) What's New? 04-07-2005: We're back from the Crescent City Open! Congrats to Kevin Bartley, who got his Sabre "C"! Excellent fencing! We only have a few pictures (coming soon), and some video (coming soon to DVD). Fun was had by most.

It seems I've been remiss in posting sites for the feminine fencers out there. So, with my apologies, here's one for you lady swashbucklers: "La Maupin".  home.comcast.net/~brons/Maupin/MaupinIndex.html "La Maupin (Mlle. Maupin), 17th century French swordswoman, adventuress and opera star, was like something out of a novel by Dumas or Sabatini, except for two things. First she was real, and second few authors would have attributed her exploits to a woman. Theophile Gautier borrowed her name and a few of her characteristics for the heroine of his novel Mademoiselle De Maupin, but in many ways his character was only a pale imitation of the original. The real Maupin was a complex creature. Well born and privileged, she knew how to use her influential friends and contacts to get what she wanted or to escape danger, but she was also proud and self-reliant. She seems to have craved the center stage, reveling in both fame and infamy. She had a fiery temperament and equally fiery passion, often the fool for love.  Mlle. Maupin was, excepting her sex, the very image of the swashbuckling romantic cavalier: tall, dark and handsome, one of the finest swordswomen or swordsmen of her day. She was athletically built, had very white skin and dark auburn curls with blonde highlights, blue eyes, an aquiline nose, a pretty mouth and, it is said, perfect breasts.  She was also a star of one of the greatest theatres of her day -- the Paris Opera. She had a lovely contralto voice and a phenomenal memory. Although she was largely unschooled in music and is said by some to have had little talent for singing, her good looks, beautiful voice, love of attention, excellent memory and flamboyance seem to have suited her well for stardom on the stage of the Paris Opera."
