I ask, because there's an archery and fencing introductary course starting in january at the college i go to and I'm planning to sign up for it. I don't really know much about fencing though, so can anyone give me a bit of an overview of what it's actually like and what kind of things a typical class might involve?
I guess it will be about olympic fencing (modern rapier), and I think it will be about holding centre, timing and distance. For more detailed input, you have to wait for someone more qualified than me to answer
