I started fencing last year, and I've been getting back into it these past three or four months now after a hiatus. I was wondering if any of you guys fenced, and y'all's favorite weapons? Favorite weapon:Épée Currently training in: Foil Planning to compete: Yes, but not in the near future.
No, but there is a fencing school near me and I may consider getting into it. Although my heart is in the medieval longsword, not the Olympic disciplines, it's still enough to hook my curiosity.
I've always been a longsword person myself. I was learning it several years back, but unfortunately our instructor broke his ankle, and ever since then, we've not seen him around much.
I tried it in my early thirties for about a year, foil fencing with the electric sensors, etc. Always wanted to get back into it as it isn't about brute strength, one doesn't need to be young to practice it. I consider it like playing chess while being quick on your feet!
I used to in primary school, for about 3 years. We only trained with the foil. I wanted to join the school fencing team, but my archery lessons clashes with the fencing team training sessions.But I would love to continue someday.
