I've never been involved in foil fencing , but I've always been intrigued. I would like to get to explore this more, and have some exposure to it in real life. I dont know anyone that foil fences, either. Any ideas of where to start? or How to start? anything I should know before getting into this?
Check with the sports departments of any local colleges to see if any of them have a fencing program, or see if there are any fencing clubs in your area that can direct you to classes.
There's not much that you need in terms of physical preparation. You just need to have good senses of concentration, balance, and coordination. I'd rent the equipment instead of buying it, though, until you decide whether you like it or not. I really, really enjoyed it.
