My love for fencing...
Since I was a kid, I had always been fascinated by fencing. The way fencers play with their swords really quelled the storm in me. I had a secret during my childhood time. I promised myself that one day, I will own my own sword and fence, just like the fencers I watched on television.
And guess what?? My dream came true!! Fencing was one of the sports in my secondary school so of course I went for it!! I would have gone mad if I didn’t take it up. Seriously even though I had to train really hard, I had a lot of fun going for training for 5x a week. At least it prevented me from gaining too much weight because I love eating. Don’t blame me, blame my mum, she is simply the best cook in the world. What else are you supposed to do if you stay under the same roof with a chef?? Get my point there? Well peeps, back to fencing, there are 3 main swords that we use in fencing, which are Epee, Sabre and Foil. I am an epee player. Girls will usually play epee and foil but for the ones who love a bit of challenge in their life to spice things up, they will play sabre. Well simply because if you are a sabre player, your moves must be swift and quick and the moves when you play sabre is a bit rough for girls as compared to epee and foil. When you fence, there is this white uniform that you have to wear which covers the whole upper part of your body and your legs. There is also a special kind of shoes for fencers, that have a super strong rubber grip so that you won’t slip or get yourself injured while fencing. On top of that, this is the best part, hehehe... There is this super cool mask that you have to wear before you fence, and I feel like Zorro when I wear it!!
Why I recommend fencing for all of you out there?? Simply because, it is so much fun!! You can trust me on this. Because I am not a sports lover kind of person and only fencing is able to thrill me to the max. And it makes you feel liko zorro. Only you and your opponent, fighting one on one, with nobody else to assist you and nobody else to help your opponent. Imagine targeting on the specific spots before you attack. Just like an eagle eyeing on its prey before it swoops down and kill it. And when you succeed, the taste of victory is seriously......... sweet.
