Despite my efforts at changing the perception of Saber within the Inland Empire, plenty of people still believe that Saber is more complicated than Foil or Epee.
All 3 weapons are equally deep and complicated. Just because Epee lacks priority does not mean that its easier. Foil is not easier because it usually moves slower than Saber. Saber is not easier because you don't need point control. Get over this. Now.
Each blade is complicated in it's own way. There's a reason why people like me can go on doing the same blade for 12 years and not get bored with it. I haven't stopped learning how to fence Saber and don't plan to reach the end for quite some time. The further you go in one weapon, the better you get at it. Period.
Preach it!!!!! ;o)
