I asked about elbow soreness on the Reddit fencing subreddit:

Suggestions include:
- "ice it after every practice"
- rest, dont overdo it in practice
- beware of hyper-extending your arm
- practice keeping actions small and relaxed, with fewer binds, using a "giving motion" ("here, let me share this with you...") instead of hyper-extending
- maybe try a tennis elbow strap
There are other therabar exercises but I haven't gotten to them yet.
On practicing footwork and extension basics, these videos are good:
And here is a long video with many exercises. Specific exercises begin at 14:20 and get increasing difficult, far beyond what my old body can hope to do.
