Today, after months of looking forward to my new fencing lessons and speculating endlessly about the people who might be in my class, I went to my first lesson. I was the only one who showed up. FML

Single student is better. Soon you will realize is a blessing in disguise.

Not to mention that there's something wildly attractive about a man who can fight skillfully with a sword.

Kitten, the jarheaded knuckle dragging moron was suggesting that fencing would ruin ones social life....it's shit bags like you, Big Guy, that are the problem with society. You denigrate anything that doesn't fit your preconceived and narrow minded view of what is cool. "Stuck in high school syndrome."

- Bruce Dickenson (of Iron Maiden Fame) - Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister during WWII) - George Peppard (Hannibal with the original A Team) what do they have in common? a) all the manliest of manly men. b) all better than you c) all fencers d) all of the above Bruce Dickenson even owns his own fencing equipment company.... you're absolutely right... only losers fence.

Nitram, actually, myself and three other people had commented on his post and somehow they had all disappeared before my second comment was posted. My first comment was something along the lines of "somehow fencing is less manly than getting tangled up with other sweaty men an losing the "good game strictly platonic ass-pat", while sharpening his reflexes, strategic thinking, and agility. I don't know what happened to all this other comments

The evil that men do lives on and on, when you play with madness but why waste your time always searching for those wasted years.(:

Fencing seems like it would be much more useful in the real world then say, basketball or baseball. Plus when fencers have a match, it looks goddamn dangerous, so that's pretty badass.

eh... i don't know... baseball could be a bit more useful in the real world... after all - how many houses have swords, vs baseball bats? that said, yes. very badass!

My house has swords in it, because i'm a fencer and I believe that goes for every other fencer. Don't be so ignorant fencing isn't used to fend people off if your attacked on the street it's a sport, hence the name sport fencing.

You're basically getting private lessons, what's the problem?

Curses, foiled again! Fencing is a lousy way to meet girls -- they don't like getting poked with metal swords. Blood-engorged pork ones are a different story. If you are looking to meet guys, you don't need to waste your time learning the art and formal technique of fencing. There are plenty who are up for a nice sword fight.

Think of it this way, you might have a hot fencing coach. Then let's see who's missing out.
