“Fencing is a fun and very safe sport. In my forty years of fencing I have seen more injuries in one game of softball. I sometimes refer to fencing as the European form of karate. The blade is an extension of your forearm and the point your new fist. But only requires 500 to 750 grams of pressure to score a touché (point).”
“An old saying that fencing is a mobile game of chess is very true. But you don’t run the risk of your opponent hitting you in the head with a rook if he loses the bout.”
