I've been intrigued by Fencing ever since a Theatre in my area brought out fencing equipment for the kids to try at the park one day. I tried it out and the instructor was kind enough to let me win, which made me so happy as a child. Since that day, I have always wanted to give fencing a go and see if I would enjoy it. Lot's of good tips in this video, however my biggest concern is my left knee is slightly compromised, but I feel like I would be leading with my right leg, as I would likely hold the epee/rapier in my right hand. Think it would still be worth giving a go? It never hurts to try either way :) great video though, ty for the info.
