Are there any places to train in or around westchester (up to 30 min away)? Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for all of you answrs, you have helped a ton .

Would 4 years of fencing help at all?

Thanks for the help, but neither of them are in my area, are there any other MA that are related to fencing?

Thanks alot for the information. On another note, how long does it take to get proficient in this style to actually use this in real life?

Indeed, after 4 years, the foil is an extension of my arm. I no longer have to estimate where the tips is, or where the blade is going to be. It all comes to me as if it was my arm. Point: Most weapons will be an extension of your mind if you just train with them enough.

Foil, seeing how I'm a foilist. I have grown a fancy for the "flick".

How does this differ from other styles and what does it include? Thanks.

I have been taking fencing for about 4 1/2 years and I am interested in starting a martial art. My natural position when I spar with someone (black belt TKD friend) I usually take the fencing stance, left hand doing most of the stuff, left foot forward, and using the fencing footwork. Any advice which martial art would be the most simliar? I'm ranked in the top 8 in North America, so I have the fencing technique almost hardwired into me. Thanks for your responses.
