When I was a young, lean burger I used to be into saber.
It seemed the coolest to me. Running attacks with slashes to the head really get the heart pumping.
Foil was okay as a gateway to saber and epee seemed to have too much poking at the opponent’s feet to be taken seriously.
My main problem was the snobbery. The club at my university was very cliquish. They were intolerable and eventually I drifted off to pick-up basketball.
Just last week the wife wanted to throw out the old fencing jacket. I just couldn't do it and stashed it in the attic. Maybe someday...
