    When did it ever follow that the size of the hammer had anything to do with the size of the nail?

    I am not assuming anything

    I'm saying that round buttocks give an impression of an energetic and confident thrust

    of course, male sabreurs' butts only look good in fencing knickers

    Not to mention that it's something of a hard sell to tout the "endurance" of athletes in a sport that ignores the clock because it's always over too soon.

    I agree... who wants a man who can't even go for 3 minutes?

    Looks like another point for the epeeist. Not only are our weapons longer, our 'bouts' last the longest as well.

    Uh...yeah. Call it tantric fencing.

    Sometimes if you watch closely you can even see the two participants move.

    Just.

    So, you all agree that if sabre is over far too quickly, and epee is "tantric" (I would have personally said "boring"), then foil has to be the best. Thank you all.

    Everyone knows the best sport to determine any kind of sexual ability is Latin dancing. Not only does it have all the qualities you have mentioned in fencing, it also has the hip action added. Therefore, I win. Case closed.
    A measure of a man's worth is directly in proportion to his skill on the dance floor.
