Oh it's great, got second place in my first ever beginners tournament (intraclass though, between the 3 classes). Lost 9-10 to someone who had two years of experience ahead of me (the class was my first ever experience of fencing).


Apparently they were impressed, got me signed up for the school team and I'm doing the intermediate class come January. Though I'm not complaining, I love every minute of it.

I have wanted to learn fencing as long as I can remember. Ironically, one of the nation's top fencing instructors lived about a half hour away for years and I didn't. I used to rent movies out to him when I worked at a video store. I checked out some fencing books at the town library and noticed the author's name in two of them looked familiar. I looked at the picture in the back of one of the books and I had actually met the guy! Unfortunately, he moved away within weeks of my discovery, so no luck.

I have been training in Kenpo Karate for over 20 years. I received my black belt in 1993. My studio was not one to hand out belts because a contract was signed. I would stay away from schools that guarantee a belt in any period of time.

I am also a certified Defensive Tactics Instructor for my Police Dept. In my experience as a martial artist, I would say that it is the artist, not the art that will win the fight. I don't care if you are a boxer, wrestler, take Kenpo, Judo, Tang Soo Do or Aikido. If you train hard, and have a big heart you will win the fight.
