<p>Fencers are the coolest people on earth.
And by "fencers", I mean Valentina Vezzali.</p>
<p>"endurance, strength, speed, flexibility, more endurance"</p>
<p>So does paintball.... and paintball takes the most team work out of all sports, do you consider it a sport?</p>
<p>Roflmao paintball (which is amazing) does not even require 1/10 the endurance/strength/speed/flexibility of fencing.</p>
<p>Also, sport (olympic) fencing is much better than old styled fencing imho.</p>
<p>I never really thought of fencing to be a common sport, but it definitely looks interesting:) I watched it on TV during the Olympics:) It’s probably not a sport I would do, but I can see why others would:)</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to try fencing, but I think the costumes look a bit silly XD the movements are cool, though.</p>
<p>What the ****. Did you just call the safety equipment/scoring equipment, “costumes”???</p>

<p>We learned this in Spanish.</p>

<p>Lawlz le gusta (a?) esgrimar.</p>
<p>Gahh. I still have trouble with prepositions and whatnot in Spanish…</p>
<p>fencing is freakin’ awesome. i am the poorest person at my fencing class and i am considered “well- off” it is more elite then most sports, but that doesn’t mean you have to be drowning it money. </p>
<p>Epee rules!!!</p>
<p>when i think of fencing i immediately think of French people, Idk why, and rich people</p>
<p>Lol, its not really an elite sport tbh.
Although the equipment IS pretty expensive.
I have like $900 of mid/low range equipment.

lololol thats only 1 set of non-FIE equipment.</p>
<p>Also, epee sucks, foil rules.</p>
<p>… yeah, what’s wrong with calling those costumes? Swimmers wear swimming costumes, do they not?</p>
<p>A majority of kids who do it are pretty unathletic, so if you are a decent athlete and have a lot of money (fencing is expensive)…it is something you can get very good in if you put in some work.</p>
<p>There’s a fencing club at my school. It’s very popular and well attended, so fencing is esteemed here.</p>
