Tried it a few times and liked it but Kendo is something I still want to try even more so.

5 Name: SaintSoul !iv7VSm0lRw : 2012-03-11 12:10 ID:FNdL/ooB [Del]

I used to fence..but I failed because my teacher kept saying I needed to try offense, but when I tried offensive stances, I always got caught, then I would guard, never ending cycle of failure.

6 Name: Finhephor : 2012-03-12 09:38 ID:+zfOMXHH [Del]

10 Name: Saz : 2012-04-09 13:17 ID:WR4LF2EI [Del]

I've played that sport it's pretty awsome but the foil is a little heavy for me

Surprising how little attention this thread has had. Sure it's a slow board, but I was sure there would be more fencers out there.
That said, it's an excellent sport. A more aggressive sport, it's not unusual to get a few bruises out of a practice. And yet, people still practice it.
It's a fascinating sport that really works out your control and balance, with techniques that vary from person to person.
Personally I prefer sabre, but it's a personal choice I suppose.

I do medieval fencing, Its not that far different from traditional fencing. In medieval fencing you use all kind of weapons from medieval age such as sword, rapier,hasta weapon, dagger shield etc.

I really want to try real fencing every chance I get I "fence" against my friends with sticks.Hehe (≧▽≦)

20 Name: Nordri : 2014-01-20 15:20 ID:GQbWMa8b [Del]

Epee here!

21 Name: Ventus : 2014-01-23 11:36 ID:m4wE6rjw [Del]

Foil, and Epee but I prefer Epee. I dislike doing sabre simply because it's so outlandishly unrealistic to how real sword fighting was. I slashing weapon would have to be swung in much wider arcs than a sabre can be used in. Not to say I think it's less of a skill or a dumb weapon. I just like the semi-realisticness of epee over the lightsaber battle of sabre.

22 Name: Roanoke !u4youLLrGs : 2014-01-31 14:54 ID:MhoB5opA [Del]

I prefer other sword styles rather than fencing, personally. How 'bout you guys?

23 Name: Ventus : 2014-02-10 14:51 ID:m4wE6rjw [Del]

>>22
I actually practiced japanese sword arts for a while before I started fencing. My instructor moved and I couldn't follow him unfortunately

24 Name: Kirusan !SvzsunXAUI : 2014-02-10 15:21 ID:tyUq6xRp [Del]

I would absolutely love fencing... if the swords weren't bendier than a slice of cheese that's been heated up for ten minutes...

25 Name: Comicstar : 2015-06-17 21:19 ID:h8CB60h9 [Del]

Always wanted to try fencing. Problem is the nearest place that does it in my area is an hour away.

27 Name: ksron !ZkPP6Ji8iw : 2015-07-08 17:41 ID:mHzWnpPS [Del]
