Hello,

My name is Chris, and I've always been interested in martial arts and sports. Fencing caught my eye after I failed at Lacrosse and at Track and Field. It looks fun and I am here to gather information as well as find a good reason to make this sport my worth while. (And I am also bored. No offense to Fencing lovers.)

I enjoy watching the sport and I think it will be something I will work my butt off to get really good at.

Work your butt off indeed! This is a very fun sport, though. If you haven't already taken it up, then I suggest you do so.

You get to meet a whole lot of interesting people as well.

It's harder to "fail" at fencing than in the two you mentioned. Being a highly individual sport you won't be benched or cut and can fencer however much you want. Also it's not as heavily reliant on physical skill as T&F, it is referred to as physical chess after all (just don't buy from them).

Hello Chris, well come to the forum.Martial art? What martial art have you done? I did Eagle Claw and Ninpo Taijutsu.

Hi, welcome.
how is it possible to be bored?

Get fencing, get hooked and you won't ever remember having used the phrase: I'm also bored.

Bored.......tsk....
