Murphy's Laws of Fencing

 1)  If your opponent is in range, so are you.

2) Your opponent will find your hidden flaws.

3) The feint you have been ignoring will be the final attack.

4) If your attack seems to be going will, you have been fooled by second intention.

5) Your referee in the finals will be the fencer you knocked out in the pools.

6) The club has two sizes - too large and too small.

7) An impenetrable defense will not score a point.

8) Professionals are predictable.

9) Nothing is as easy as the coach implies.

10) Pre-match tactics will not survive the bout.

11) Incoming fire has right of way.
