Fencing?
24 November 2005No, this is not about the art of placing fences around your garden; this is about fencing, the sport. Jose L. Balcázar introduced Javier, Hector, and me to fencing during his visit to UIUC in July 2003. He is a fencer at SAM (Sala d’Armes de Montjuïc) in Barcelona. Since then, I am a member of The Point Fencing Club in Champaign and join the United States Fencing Association to be able to take part in the Illinois division tournaments.
