Fencing

It's funny when people find out I fence they thing it's the coolest thing in the world.  I have mixed thoughts on the hobby.  While you just can't beat stabbing someone with 3 feet of steel it's murder on my flat feet.  I think it is worse than a step aerobics class.  My biggest complaint with the sport are the rules.  This is fighting right?  Two people walk in, one walks out.  Correct?  I've done stick fighting and kung fu over the years with a little boxing thrown in.  Besides no killing or maiming, rules were pretty sparse.  So entering another fighting sport to be told all these rules is a pretty hard thing.  Actually I haven't fenced in about 2 months.  I sprained my wrist doing it and since I constantly use my wrist at work to adjust it really doesn't get better fast.  So I've been taking time off.  I'll see if I go back in a month or two.
