I have a couple of decades on you and have only recently started entering tournaments. This is one of those rare sports in which age does not stand in the way of your having a good time. Enjoy!

[QUOTE=CheekyCanuck]With age come maturity and wisdom, which is no doubt why you have chosen foil.

Got to totally agree with this one (except for the foil bit-hee hee)! To which I GOTTA add:
Old age and treachery will always lay a lesson givin' smackdown on youth and speed.

Heck you shouldn't worry about the age. I'm the same age as you and have had 3 knee surgeries! Sure, I move like an asthmatic yak and it cuts down on the lunges, but the youngin's I'm training with have learned to keep distance! So no worries buddy-roo!-this sport is totally rockin' like Dokken!
