I highly recommend you give it a try. It’s probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever attempted in my life not to mention, I became more fit than I could have ever imagined. When I first started fencing, I was amazed at how under developed my hand-eye coordination had become. As I progressed however, I became lightning fast and when my brain said to my hand, “go there”, I was already there. Oh, and wait until you try electric!! :-)
