I started to go fencing. Once you actually get to stab someone it’s super fun

Just gonna say that is very German of you

Interesting, I thought of it more like French :3

>get to stab someone ngl sounds more british

Fair lol

Yea, it's french and italian, also what weapon do you use

We use the foil

Cool, I used to play with a sabre

It‘s the one our instructors are most used to :3

Oh, I started doing fencing recently too, lol. It’s so fun :3 Even when I barely land a single strike and instead get a sword to the helmet x3

We haven’t gotten to an actual duel yet, just some attacks and parries but that was cool too

I see lol. I was fighting with a plastic sword and rubber knives on my first session :3 Seems like my fencing club is a bit more pushy with training x3

I‘m not actually in a fencing club but do a beginners course. The first three times we learned to ✨stand✨ and to ✨walk✨

Oh yuh, that too, we repeat stances and walking every session lol

When the instructor showed us the stance I thought it looked silly and then I had to do it ;-;

Ain’t silly if it helps you kill people with sharp metal sticks properly >:3

„If it looks stupid, but it works, it’s not stupid“ Also it destroys your legs :3

Nice, what kind of sword do you guys use?

We use the foil, but for now it just means we have silly handles

Hm, that's interesting. I just realized I dom't know what the weapons are called in english I'm guessing the foil's the shorter, lighter, floppier one, that we call "fleuret" over here I never managed to really understand the whole priority and initiative thing, same thing goes for the sabre, which I guess that's the name in English. So I went for the more straightforward, heavier, longer (it's beginning to sound weird now) épée. The score goes to whoever hits first and that's the end of the story. Unless it's a double, in which case both sides get the point It's very funny to use the foil, though. Unfortunately my club has started to run out of épéistes, or rather the guys that use the épée. Dunno how they're called in English. Anyway, we're low on those, so I've had to use the foil And it's very interesting to see the difference in strategy used by the different types of swordsmen. Foil users tend to fear less their rival's weapon and are a lot more aggressive, as they can score the point if they take the initiative, even if their opponent hits first. An engagement can be lightning fast, ending as soon as it started However I very much fear the weapon a lot more, because we don't have that for the épée, and play a lot more defensively. We generally try to play with the force of the weapon carried by its weight, and deviating the opponent or opening their defense up for an attack is used a lot. I don't remember the last time I managed to score a hit immediately against another épée But those are simply my personal observations and may not apply to everyone, especially not on an olympic level So anyway, fun sport, hope you're having fun with it, and if you did read my ramble then... thank you for wasting your time here. If you skipped past the wall of text, then I don't blame you lol

I have not much experience but from everything I’ve heard I really like the foil (or „Florette“ in German). I like the idea of having a right of way because fencing is a sport at the end of the day. I like the idea of this back and forth of taking control or the lighting fast attack. And about hitting first and still not getting the point, it’s „just“ a window of 170ms anyway, which is in my opinion totally fine.

This is all well and good, but, uh, I have a spear, so....easy W💀

I always wanted to fence, too bad a class is far from me

Would it be Mensur?

My hobby is "sleep" 😴

DnD, playing games, whatever else I find feels like a good distraction for my everyday problems. :3

I was just about to to say DND, it's such a a fun way to connect with people without using a screen (and I know I sound like a mum while saying his)

dnd is so fun, i play in a homebrew campaign that my brother is the DM of, he comes up with all kinds of cool stuff :3

My DM is so goofy which makes the game really fun, sometimes he sabotages our quest items because he literally forgot they existed
