I am a former EPEE fencer. For those not familiar, the epee is a thrusting weapon for competitive use and the equivalent of the dueling rapier. I always used the standard �French� grip which employs the right index finger and thumb. First joint �behind�, second joint below, tip joint in front and thumb on top with the grip end, Pommel, in the lifeline of the hand. With time and practice the blade becomes a 35� extension of your index finger with ALL input/output (feel and direction) becoming as automatic and precise as human touch and reaction can be. That is a #3 pp!
