Redpill me about this sport
Jaxson Perry
Isaiah Jenkins
it's not a sport
Jason Bell
Boring to watch(unless you have competed at a high level), fun to participate in
if it's in the olympics, it's a sport, if it's not in the olympics it's not a sport
William Rivera
We used to be very good at it.
Anthony Parker
Does it stop being a sport if it is no longer in the olympics?
Ryan Morales
why not?
Charles Carter
It's a great sport and very difficult to master
Also the training is horrible
Ethan Fisher
Also pokey proddy is not fencing, and is very VERY gay indeed
Sabre is for real men
Jackson Taylor
>Boring to watch(unless you have competed at a high level), fun to participate in
Pretty much this desu. I fenced for several years and it's great sport but it's surprisingly untelegenic for a sport that's about swordfighting.
Jordan Howard
I never fenced and I think it's very exciting to watch, even team events.
Ryan Gutierrez
Whats the difference?
Jaxson Anderson
You can only hit the body, arms and head in sabre and foil, sabre is slashing and striking with the blade so you parry repost in a fluid natural way
Foil is only stabbing and lots of stupid twirling around eachothers tips like nonces and lunging
Epee is like foil but you can stab anywhere, when I was a kid we used to have to compete in all three regardless of what team we were in, I used to stab the toe and won four matches in a row in a competition just doing that for a laugh, it's a complete meme
Christian Perez
>it's a complete meme
irl if I stab your toes you're hors de combat mon ami.
James Lopez
Is very gay
Nathaniel Cox
>toe stabbing
This is why France won the most battles
Jacob Fisher
>hors de combat mon ami.
what kind of faggot language is this? how do you pronounce this without looking like a fag?
Brandon Watson
Don't voice the h. Make your lips into an o shape whilst you talk. Easy
David Price
all French makes you sound like a fag. ironic how they call it the most beautiful language in the world when in reality it's just like any other Romance language but you make retarded guttural noises too
Mason Miller
You're only saying that because you're gay for french accents
Blake White
Fancy frufru Olympic sport that in most forms of media is shown to be played by rich peoples.
Parker Robinson
the backseat parenting in this sport has to be the worst ive ever seen
Jace Thompson
>he hasn't seen the 9yrs old drag queen pageant
Benjamin Hernandez
>two niggers running and slash like mongs
nah, get fuck

I fenced for ~7 years and I can say that it is absolutely the most fun sport to play without any fucking question. You’re sword fighting. It’s insanely awesome.
But, it also is a super autistic-sounding thing to tell people you do. When you tell people, prepare for lots of questions and for everyone to associate you as “the fencing guy.” If you’re not prepared to make yourself look cool in your answers, you’re doomed to be a weirdo in everyone’s eyes. I saw a majority of weirdos go through that fencing club, but also a couple guys who escaped as chads, and a couple extremely, extremely hot women. It works female bodies like volleyball kinda, but a bit more arm strength.
James Hernandez
you'd think sword fighting would be cool but it's actually extremely dull
Grayson Phillips
epee is the only real fencing
Kevin Roberts
is there an age limit to get into it recreationally? i.e is there stuff I will never be able to learn unless I started before high school like in gymnastics or tennis?
John Nguyen
not if you're willing to get your ass kicked the first 1000 times
Connor Roberts
life already kicks my ass every waking second. physical punishment is nothing to me
Nathan Wright
All fighting is boring to watch in general when you take away the danger. Without the fear of death fencing isn’t much different from swinging sticks at each other. It’s why technical boxers like money bore normies to death, they know there won’t be a ko
