    Default Fencing

    I've been taking an intro level fencing course lately. I think it would be fun to try fencing with lightsabers... I mean, same rules etc. It's crazy how the techniqe allows you to open and close distance so fast.

    Has anyone tried this? I would but I have no one to play with.

    I've been thinking of trying the same thing, but I don't nearly have the bravery to do it and be made fun of by my wife.

    I fence, it totally kicks ass. I don't see how you can build a lightsaber then worry about being made fun of for fencing.

    Do what I did...

    I convinced my wife to join fencing class with me - as "something we can do together..."

    Worked!

    Plus, my wife rocks.

    I took fencing for about 6-8 months, and it was very cool. Great workout, improved reaction skills... lots of bruises...

    I still have all my gear, so maybe I'll start doing it again. I just got lazy for a while.

    As for lightsaber fencing... I dunno, guys. Getting poked with a foil hurts enough. I don't even want to imagine the pain of getting rammed in the chest with a polycarbonate rod.

    i don't have the bravery to fench at all.

    We had a kid at my high school last year get killed.

    He got thrust into the chest and the tip broke off and then cuase it was a thrust it went into his chest.

    I knew the kid that did it. He can't even watch sword fighting movies anymore, like troy or lord of the rings.

    just a bad deal, i had wanted to start fenching, but my future wife would have none of it, can't really say i blame her

    Matt: I've heard that from a couple other people. I feel bad for the kids, both of them...

    Perosnally, I've always wanted to learn Kendo. I have a book on it, but lack anyone to do it with me (encoragement, etc). For now, I'll stick with freestyle. :P
