I fenced for ages. My sister is a former olympic athlete. Competitive fencing is hard on the body, bros. It's very high impact, and you probably don't realize how high impact it is on the shoulder. Until you have a motherfucking torn labrum.

I disagree that strength isn't a big deal in fencing, unless your doing it just recreationaly. But I guess that's like any sport. If you're just playing for the activity, who cares how fit or strong you are in tennis, basketball or soccer.

While my sister was training for the olympics, she spent months internationally at training camps, between world cups.
