This is one of the sports I've been wanting to learn about, if you don't know what the sport is, it's FENCING! Fencing sounds like a sport that needs A LOT of concentration and training. I am very bad at concentrating so this sport might not be for me but for other people. I hope you have learnt how to play and what you need in order to participate in this sport.
