FENCING QUOTES
Using a sword is like sex. It's all a matter of balance, leverage and timing.
Bob Anderson
Hold your sword as if you were holding a bird in your hand: not too lightly to prevent his escape and not too tightly to prevent him choking?
Justin LafaugerI, 1826
Time and quality of work will provide better results than selection based on any champion profile; we don't select champions, they select themselves by work, passion and determination to achieve the highest results?
Janusz Rednarski
"Fencing is a game of subtlety, and bluff can be met with counter-bluff"
Charles L. de Beaumont
"The leading coaches of the world unanimously agree that epee has become the premier weapon to fence and to watch"
Bob Anderson
"Weapons are like significant others...if you found them cheap to start with...they usually don't remain faithful for long"
Canadian Armoury Guildmaster
"The essence of fencing is to give, but by no means to receive."
Moliere
"That there are persons of mistaken ideas in almost every Art or Science, is what few will deny. Yet I am inclined to believe there are more erroneous opinions entertained with regard to the Art of using the Sword than on most other subjects."
Joseph Roland, 1809
"Using a sword is like sex. You can't get good by practicing by yourself or with your relatives."
Jack Sparrow
