| Fencing in Chinese-speaking countries?
Ni Hao!
I have noticed that there several people here from the Sinophone world, and this post is mostly directed to them.
Anyway, I spend this summer in Shenzhen, southern Guangdong, in my parents-in-law´s place. I saw precious little fencing on TV (except unreal fly-in-the-air stuff) and none in reality. Considering that it is a large city - several million - and one of the wealthiest in PRC, one would expect that if one could find fencing anywhere in PRC, Shenzhen would be a good bet. No such luck. Basketball reigned supreme what I could see. This I find surprising, since the average woman was only somewhat taller than 150 cm, and I with my 174 cm towered as a near-giant. ;-)
I will return to PRC and HK sooner or later, so I wonder if somewhoe could help me with these qustions:
What is the HK/Shenzhen/Guangdong fencing scene like? Number of clubs, number of fencers, how to find clubs, relative weapon popularity, webpages, general info?
Any important info pertaining to fencing in the Chinese-speaking world in general?
Do HK fencers go to SZ or GD in general to compete? The other way around?
Zaijjien!
