    Hey there! Welcome to the forum! I started when I was 29, and have enjoyed every second of it!

    Good to hear you're taking up the sport - I know you'll really enjoy it!

    29!? Man, I always figured you for low twenties, tops.

    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 Emtfrerick. Nice to meet you. I hope that you like fencing.
    Do not worry about your age. I had start to fence 30 and now I am 33.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I was 18 when I started (~10 1/2 years ago).

    Ah. Sorry to disappoint you. If you ever met me, you'd probably be saying "29!? Man, I always figured you for mid forties, minimum."

    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!
    And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
