Many people watch fencing the first time and are intimidated by the speed of the action.
All of us felt the same way when we started. If you have an interest in the sport, don't let the pace of things intimidate you. Try it for a couple of nights and you'll start to get the hang of things. Fencing is excellent exercise, will improve your flexibility, balance, and coordination, and is just plain fun.
