Blades

Here's an interesting URL to look at. It's all about why swordplay is still relevant in this day and age. I have an abnormal number of fencing acquaintances, and they aren't the Tom Sawyer kind. Rather, they're the épée, foil and sabre kind. And you know what?

Good fencers make good neighbours.

As one of your fencing acquaintances, I thank you for that kind comment. In return, I profer this little morsel:

One of the most famous fencers in the World, Aldo Nadi, once commented in his book that there are only three types of people in the world: those who fence, those who have the potential to fence, and hopeless invalids.

Thought you might like this; it is, in a way, another method of classification.

The predecessor to fencing is posting. You have to erect posts before you begin to fence...
