Angelina Jolie IS a Fencer!!!

I’m begining to think fencing is way BIGGER than I even realized! A 16-year old Angelina Jolie talks about how fencing helped her develop her graceful movements and her dream to one day have a big weapon room to hold fencing swords!!! (I wonder if she has one now???)

She also explains that she initially started ”fencing” with brooms as a young kid and then went to the West Side Fencing Center!  In the interview, she describes the sport, the movements, the uniform and even shows us her fencing arm movement!

I think it’s time we invite her to a fencing competition!

Fencing is a Sexy Sport: Asian Edition!

From the blog Fencing For Dummies (nice find!)  The website blog writes: The model’s name is Nok Ausanee, apparently an actress of some repute in Thailand. (MORE: Fencing For Dummies)

Nice…Saber.  Below pictures from a Korean magazine called ”Singles”.

Ko Ara (”Ara) picks up fencing for the latest photoshoot in the December 2008 issue of the Korean magazine, “The Singles.” And in this watered down concept that includes fairy tales such as, “princess and the pea” and “Hansel and Gretel,” the photos are  just to show that  Ara is all grown up.

There Can Only Be 2…

Jason Rogers, Daryl Homer and James Williams (Pictured above) are set for a final do or die battle for the final two National Team Sports at the Dallas World Cup.

In the round of 64, Homerfences Apithy of France who elimated him 15-6 at the last world cup, Williams battles fellow countryman Even Prochniak and Jason Rogers duels German Bjorn Hubner with matches starting at 1pm.

Jason Rogers will need to advance one round beyond either James Williams or Daryl Homer to qualify since he is slightly behind both in the point standings.

Already qualified National team members Ben Igoe battles his former coach Vassil Etropolski and Tim Morehouse battles fellow countryman Andrew Fischl.  Dan Bak, Jeff Spear, Adrian Bak, Dan Berliner, Valentin Staller and several other US fencers are also set to compete.
