TV rots your brain like it's crack cocaine
So I live in the quasi-middle-of-nowhere, but we do have a club. Since there's not many resources available, the club only has 1 really expert instructor and a couple former teammates from a nearby college (my wife was a former member of their college club as well). I have a very basic fencing knowledge and experience, but I'm itching to try again. They only offer up through an intermediate class, and after that it's pretty much just open non-competitive sport. My question is: will I get far too bored with this?

There's a very, very big club about 1.5 hours away from here (if we have our way in the next couple years, we'll move there anyway) that I could always visit every once and a while, but while I'm really interested in getting more experience (for fun and sport), I'm worried about getting bored with it. I'd like to establish this as a physical fitness activity for myself for personal development. I really need something that isn't running (it's loving cold here and treadmills are boring) or what I did before a bad work accident, which was judo (advised not to do that again).

Guess I may as well ask: anyone in the DC area been to Virginia Academy of Fencing in Springfield? It's 4 hours away for me, but it looks like a hell of a club and shop and I'm up there a lot.
