What's with the cord he appears to be holding in the first picture? I see it in all three, actually.

In foil, ROW is gained by extending your weapon/weapon arm. Once your opponent has extended, you must parry in order to take ROW for yourself. If you don't parry and instead just counterattack, then if there are two lights, your opponent gets the touch since they had ROW.

If you walk around with your arm out and your opponent parries your blade (by beating on it once) and extends, your opponent now has ROW and you need to parry and extend to get it back.

Yum. Hot stuff! Dad used to take my brother and out out fencing. He was pretty good! Won a bunch of awards and stuff. We both did it for a little bit but I dropped out early. Matt kept it up for a few more years, him being more physical in general.

I can't find a fencing club near me, except the Stanford fencing club, which charges 450 dollars a year. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

I like fencing for the pure fact that you fight with swords but I don't fence as I am more of a pirate when it comes to swinging my sword.
