If you fence epee without wearing a cricket box to protect the family jewels, you're an idiot. I have seen someone carted off to hospital in an ambulance after being hit in the groin. It isn't a joke. Imagine being kicked by a lady going past on a motorbike at 60 mph who is wearing stilettoes. That is a close approximation to what being hit by an epee point is like. Be warned!
I'm doin foil now so I don't wear a cup cuz it don't hurt tht much with foil. My coach is moving me up to épée in a few weeks tho. Can't wait!!! After a while on épée he's letting us use blade!! Yay!!!
I never used a cup!!! It never hapen in my mind that it would hapn, I've been stupid and soooooo lucky... but also i've never tun with my arms wide open direct to my oponent's blade like that
Not to knock the fencers or anything, but I've taken hits to the balls worse than that guy had- I know, it sucks, but you've gotta suck it up man. I don't think it would be so bad that you'd have to go into the fetal position and have a ref check you out xD I wasn't wearing a cup when I got hit, so I think I'd know something about pain there lol.
On a more constructive note, I find it very helpful for me to keep me free hand down in epee. When you have it up, it's a really obvious target.
some people at competitions who do epee actually aim for your crotch with a fleche and if u don't wear protection it hurts like hell - ive seen many people get injured like this .
I have the same problem with my fencing socks as the right guy due to my immensly long leg-thingies. Not much action here, but very cool piste, I would love to try one of those out since my organisation uses a regular rubber-like floor with taped markings :P
that's happened to me before... and it was a step lunge not just an extend. and my opponent was a 18 year old guy not a teenage girl. IT HURT

Unless it was an act of militant feminism, that was just extremely bad luck. Any one who fences with a cup is a coward.
