proletariat2: “Saber looks pretty boring”? have you ever seen saber? it’s probably the least boring of the three… and to Rh., fencing definitely doesn’t have to be an elite sport. i mean, i go to an inner city school where 98% of us live below poverty level and we all get free lunch, and we have a fencing team. granted, our equipment doesn’t always work and we have to share jackets, but the point is, it’s not just for the upper classes. and it takes a bunch of core qualities - endurance, strength, speed, flexibility, more endurance… especially for those bouts that take 15 minutes. swords get pretty heavy. sorry for being defensive.
