Anywho, I started when I was 14, I think. I don't remember. Basically, I've been fencing for my entire life. Because that's just how bad my memory is.
(P.S. It's really late over here. Are my posts becoming incoherent?) | |

| Hello
Hi, I was 14 when I started. It was one year ago. But don´t have a age to start fencing. I know people who started after 50 and they´re great!!!
Good luck | |

| Hi and welcome! I was 32 when I began fencing back in 1980. I'm probably even older than Inq!
