Fencing Utility

[migopod]

You will note how I used particular language to describe advantage, rather than just making absolute statements like "the fencer would definitely win."

Quite so, nor did I mean to imply that the fencer would definitely not win.

Hopefully I am not delusional : about 3-4 years ago (with help of meditation, video, downhill skiing, and sprints) I finally was able to focus enough on the opponents' action and see their attacks in somewhat slower motion, something my Coach has been yelling at me for years - so training to become a better fencer, in a way helped with the Golf Psycho, as well as, a Drunk Playground Dad, etc...
They were not masking their attacks all that well, nor planned a 2nd or a 3rd intention (although an extremely respected and successful Eastern European coach once read me an x-large + x-emotional lecture that 3rd intention does not exist, and yes he was sober and not smoking during such).

Steeplechase or Parkour, perhaps?

Much less likely to be offered by high schools and rec centers. I did specify "most people can get".

The Gentleman in question missed me twice, them came somewhat to his senses
with urging of his kids.
Shortly thereafter they were escorted off the course.

I think even if you're vintage bruce lee incarnate that not feeling threatened by someone swinging a golf club at you is bad policy. It's Ok to admit you were frightened, if only briefly. Saying otherwise is just difficult to believe.

Dunno - it happened really quickly, but it did not seem like he had a shot at succeeding.
