I have just started Fencing (I do Epee only so far, but it is very early days...) after wanting to do it for years. There is finally a club that has started in my home town so I have joined. Love it so far although I already have loads to master and I know it will help me get super fit!!

Anyone else who takes part in this sport and wants to chat about it?

    You wouldn't be able to stab someone with a 'real sword' for sport... if it was 'real swords' then it would just be two people prancing around each other showing off; somewhat like a car-meet.

    Fencing sounds cool - I've always wanted to try it!

    Like most martial arts, I imagine it's fantastic for your legs: you should build some good stamina and flexibility. You'll find yourself becoming explosive in your movements too.

    All in all it'll be a good calorie burner and also social too!
