there is a fenching turnament in SLO, and some of my friend from UCSC are competing.
actually only one. her name is cyndy. you should go and see it, cause it's fenching, with real swords! i hear they're gonna have an exibition math with no padding, and people are actaully gonna get stabbed. btw, this is a saber fenching match, which means that you can slash as well as poke to get a point. it's cool. you should check it out.
