What other activities do you do that aid in your fencing? What other activities do you do that aid in your fencing?
Just wanted to get a general question out there. I was out wall climbing today for the first time in a few months and realized how well it helps build the muscles in the forearm and fingers. This, I've discovered really helps with my Epee since it is a heavier weapon and flicking around the bell guard is important for wrist touches.
So I just wanted to know what other sports or activities other people participate in which they find help aid them in fencing somehow?

Bicycling works the legs & overall aerobic stuff. And it usually gets me to fencing practice in a timely manner.
In my experience, chess is completely useless for fencing, despite the cliche'.

Counter-Strike!
When I'm fencing, whenever I hit the other guy in the mask I yell "Boom headshot!". It scares the bejesus out of them... and then I win. Muahahhahaha.

Trail running (on some brutal steep trails). It helps a lot. "Being a good feind is like being a photographer, you have to search for the right moments."

Do a search, this topic has been beaten dead. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben
