Yep, I fence, and a whole bunch of people from my team are on tfp also.
Mostly Epee though, I am too aggressive and too stubborn for foil.
Our club is very nice and open. Every year we welcome everyone who wants to fence, and we try to make them part of our 'family'.
And, I admit it might not look like a lot of fun, when you get up there and try it, it is a blast. You are essentially fighting a duel, and I can think of few sports that compare.
I don't know how many potential fencers drift into the tilted sports forum though.....
