Hey! I was never much of an athlete, but a few months ago I developed an interest in the sport of fencing.
As an actor, I had a few stage combat lessons involving swordplay, and our combat teacher was the one who told me about a club I could go to and learn the sport.
I've been going for about a month now, and I've purchased some equipment, and I'm totally loving every aspect of the art. It's not really the fighting that's so enthralling as the precision of the movement- the fact that every parry must be so slight, to make the opponent's blade miss your body by only a fraction of a degree- that's what I find beautiful.
Ummm....
and I enjoy candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach..?
