    I fence 4 times in a week.
    The purpose of tactic is to conquer the enemy with proper war movements and actions.

    3 times a week. 2 hour sessions.
    Anything worth doing is worth doing to obsession.

    I'm addicted too but sadly do not have unlimited amount of time...

    I try to fence at least twice a week @~2 hours. Depending on workload etc. I sometimes manage to make it to the club a third or even fourth time. (This also depends whether I'm preparing for a competition or not.)
    Fencing is my only PvP.

    If I had a club as ZZ does, I'd possibly be on the piste at least 4 times a week. But as she mentions, time is a critical factor. Therefore only 3 times a week. Though, if it comes to addiction.......I'm an addict too!

    If you count days spent coaching, then 5 a week, plus competition. Unfortunately, not all sessions are as long as I would like, but you have to fit it in when you can.

    Life is cheap, fencing expensive.
    But I guess addictions have to run their course.

    I'm good for 2-4 times a week. Depends if

    4x per week (2 hour club practice). Plus I try to do an average of 1.5 competitions a month. Can't make any in Jan. but Feb's looking extra fun.

    Can only make it to club 2x a week but try to get to the strip in the basement for footwork and ball drills on the off days. Although according to my coach there's no proof of that.
    You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me
