Fencing? Anyone?

[Vanja the Gravelingas]

I was just wondering if there's anyone here who trains fencing

It's been [mumblemumble] years since I picked one up, but I was fencing champion of my high school...where foil was the only option offered.

Cool!!!

Got any pictures of you fencing back then?

To the best of my knowledge, no photos have survived. There isn't anything in the yearbook, and I don't have one in my collection.

It's a pity you haven't practiced so long. I started training last year and I love it.
@ Menolly: My club has its internet presentation,and I think there are some photos there if you're interested

To tell you the truth I never really gave it much thought, but learning the art of poking someone with a pointy stick sounds like it could be fun.

Hehe,not only that Judging from what my friends told me about other types of swords,a good ol' two-handed sword sounds like fun Though it takes at least 2 years of practice with foil and sabre to get to it.

I didnt take fencing lessons but i do have a Samurai Sword..make unknown and customized by myself... the handle anyway, ..my friend got it for me from Korea, and i have another sword that is blunt edged but has a very sharp tip, im not sure of its origin either but it looks like something that sinbad and the seven seas, from those old movies would carry.

Missed this...hardly ever come in here. I used to do some fencing at university...epeè. (Just over ten years ago, I suddenly realise. )

Another of our members however, Nav, is/was/has been a serious competition fencer though. He's around every now and then.

I've trained fencing by my uncle, I'm so thankful to him, now I know what's the different techniques in fencing. Really good as my self defense
