I have been fencing olympic saber for a bit now, but I always wanted to do Hema rapier. I recently found out a place I thought only did longsword had rapier so I might swap to rapier. I'm mostly just curious though what transfers from olympic saber to HEMA rapier, like does any footwork or blade techniques transfer.
I've been a saber fencing for a bit and this one girl who's been at my club for a bit now has started yelling super loudly after like every other point she wins. This isn't even during anything intense, it's like a quick 15 touch bout at the end of the class for fun. Then when I slightly poked her on accident she started screaming at the person who was reffing for us "Give him a yellow card!" Mostly what I'm trying to say is, why do fencers scream? Oh also she seems like a douche cause she was also yelling at this one 14 year old.
TLDR: Why do fencers scream so much and generally seem to be so angry
I am currently making sheet music for Saber style fencing and I feel like I'm forgetting things, but I'm not sure what. Can someone please give me suggestions to add. Please suggest things that need to have their own symbol/symbol combination. By symbol combination I mean stuff like the flunge. To indicate a flunge I did a jump + lunge. If it can be done by just placing the symbols in order then don't suggest them. An examples of what not to suggest is remise as that can just be indicated by a missed attack and an attack. The things I have are as follows:
Target Areas
Advances/Retreats
Sign Showing Loss and Gain of Right of Way
Parries
Attacks that Hit Parries
Lunges
Feints
Coup/Disengages
Beat
Jumps
Flunge
Balestra
Circular Parry
Backwards Cross Steps
Point in Line
Missed Attack
I got this bass yesterday for 400 dollars “used” (apparently It wasn’t actually used and it was just sitting in a warehouse for 5 years) since it just looked thought it was cool looking and yesterday it seemed fine but then I was just a practicing a bit and noticed the 11th fret on the A string makes a rattling sound.

I am an upright/contra/double/classical bassist. Today I got my first Bass guitar and and amp and I started practicing with it and oh my god, without realizing I realized I was practicing for 5 hours because of how much fun it was. Also it was extremely nice being able to let my hands go without worrying in the slightest because of the strap. I live in constant fear while holding my upright bass.
I am an extremely short guy (5’0) and when I learned double bass at a school they used a half sized bass. I think It felt somewhat fine and I was looking for a compact way to get one since I don’t have a lot of room in my room. I looked at electric double basses, but I can’t find any half sized basses.
