[edit] Flunge Picture

The picture in the technique section is not actually a flunge. Please remove it.En Marchant 15:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vjasper's post

I am confident that this page can be expanded quite a bit. If anyone is willing to help I'd gladly appreciate it. Currently the only thing that I can really think of to do is adding detailed section on right-of-way.Vjasper 20:08, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with the Valid Target picture

The valid target picture appears to include the hand. Would anyone like to remedy this? Vjasper 19:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of a sabre

Does anybody have a picture of a sabre that could be used to illustrate the sabre blade, bell guard and handle? The "The Sword" paragraph would work better with such. Iotha 22:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I suppose I could just take a picture of one of mine, if we can't find anything else. Does a gold Y-Section blade on a used Uhlmann guard sound good? I'll take a picture sometime tomorrow. Vjasper 05:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Sounds good. I took a picture of a sabre that was lying around my fencing club (I just added it), however my picture doesn't really display the Y-shape of the blade or the button, perhaps you should focus on that? Iotha 01:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sabre picture

The handle is labeled "French grip," but I'm pretty sure this is wrong. The sabre grip is quite different from a French...

[edit] Blade stiffness

This should be updated. Since the blades were stiffened in 2000, they are technically stiffer than epee blades. If you put one on a gabarit, they are allowed less deflection.
