Fencing is a very fun but yet elegent sport, I have watched,read about it, and did it and think its the best, other then wakeboarding. You should expect the unexpected, when challenging against another person, the person must poke you with the tip of the sword on the body. You will be wearing a nicly padded suit with gloves and specific shoes with a helmet and a left or right handed fencing sword. As far as i think its a bit of an expensive sport but its worth it cause you could always excell.

fencing is a great sport for both mind and body. it requires great physical strength and flexibility as well as grace and the ability to "read" your opponent and observe their style and watch their every move. fencing is sometimes referred to as a dance due to the grace required. you should expect a challenge.

fencing is an amazing sport to play. for years i have been jumping from sport to sport, and now ive finally found one that suits me, along with fellow team mates who respect me. from the anticipation of fighting a new opponent to the ecstasy of winning your first match, fencing is a great sport to get into, no matter your age. You cant just pick up a sword and expect to be geat at it, or even good. But with numerous repititions of footwork drills and practice matches with team mates, you can become as great as any olymipic fencer. If you can, at the least try out fencing, for it is a classic that lives on today.
