Part of a fencing club?
If so where do you go, and do they have lesson packages.

Anyone interested in learning, also?

My Friend that lives in Delta is (was still?) taking Fencing in Richmond if I remember correctly. I learned a fair bit of the basics of Rapier and Epee Fencing. Even some Sabre Fencing... which is my favorite style to watch.

I'll try and get the name of the place he went for you.

Yea saber you can strike with any part of the blade, not just the point, but i think they mostly start people on foil/rapier.

^ They do indeed.

It's pretty fun. My Buddy has his own pair of Foils to practice with as well.
