I am currently an epee fencer and have been fencing epee for more than 3 years now. I really want to get somewhere in this sport and I have high aspirations and have been working as hard as I can. There is one problem- I'm short at 18. I'm 5'6 and most of my competition at NAC and some local tournaments are at least 5'10 and clearly have an advantage over me. My fencing style varies though. I fence a bit lax and loose when fencing epee but my club knows me to have strong, agressive and fast footwork. I have also been working on speeding up my thursts. I've been considering sabre for some time because of these factors. Would I have a greater potential in sabre than in epee? Is it worth the switch?
