I found a groupon for fencing and it was walking distance from my work at Gryphon Fencing Club. The groupon offered 4 classes session for $25 great deal! Thought I decided to give it a try and got my coworker psyched as well cos I am petty good at convincing.. Yes, it's an olympic sport and NO, its not as easy as it seems! They have professionals sometime drop by and train their.

5 point game and 3 min round
There are three different types of fencing sword epee, foil and sabre. Epee basically first blood, meaning whole body is a target. Epee is more defensive game and does not have a right of way. Then, Foil basically fight to death or kill shots only; the target area reduces to only torso therefore, no arms, leg and head. Thus, foil is more tacticle and foil has right of way meaning if i attack you have to perie before attacking me .. Finally we have saber which is more slashing, aggressive, and all offence; and target is above torso including arms and head. Saber has right of way also. We decided to give all three class
Showing you all my epee skills.. beating a girl who is fencing for about 3 months in my first class!
The sword hits the floor so didnt count as a point.
Its great gift for birthday or get togethers with friends! Also its a great cardio!
