Start doing a bit of reading so you know something of the different styles,
and see if you can locate a practice group within reasonable driving distance.
There may be some sports you can learn from books, but fencing isn't one of
them. The books or articles or websites will give you some idea of what each
style is about. And maybe an idea of cost.
