I never took fencing but I do find it interesting. My highschool had a fencing team and my friend was on it. It was exciting to see and its hard to keep up sometimes because they move fast when moving but they also pause. I asked how fencing is done. He stated "Its not just about hitting the other person, although you do get to relief some stress. Its about reading your opponents moves and what their stance is. With each move they make you can tell what their next move is going to be. But at the same time their doing the same to you, so patients and being attentive is necessary." I didn't get to actually learn fencing but I was at least there cheering and yelling to beat the opponent.
this looks interesting. i don't know anything about fencing but for what i've seen it looks as a sport of very focused attentiveness, fast moves, quick calculations, and great balance. blink and thats your life on the line. when i went to the met museum, there were many different type of swords related to this. many were very elavorated in details and ornaments and also if I am not mistaken, it indicated that at a period in time, this swords were sported as part of the daily fashion.
