Ah, my little weed jumper. One must learn discipline and agility to master the sword.
I really not sure you my try here;

It is stick fighting. But, this may help lead you on your path of discovery. But, you do need to learn agility. You need to learn to move before you can learn to fight. You need a focused mind to think quickly and your body parts move instantly as you think. I hope the link will help.

The old sport of fencing is relatively new to our country. The old-world charm of sword fighting fascinated Ruchi Trikha, and her dedication and desire to excel has made her a good fencer.
The 19-year-old student of Multani Mul Modi College, Patiala, has reaped rewards in a short span of three years. A newcomer to the sport, she created history by becoming the first Indian fencer to win a medal at an international event. During the first Commonwealth Junior Fencing Championship held at Chennai in January, Ruchi had the honour of climbing the podium twice. India won five medals at the event, with Ruchi contributing two bronze — in individual epee and team epee. Ruchi says she is learning a lot by participating in various international events. At the Junior World Fencing Championship in Leinz, Austria, in March last year, she held her own against the world’s best juniors. “Of course, I was nowhere near the top, but competing at that level was quite an experience,” she says candidly.
Then came the Senior World Fencing Championship in Leipzig, Germany, in September, 2005, which was an eye-opener for her. A rank novice in the fencing world teeming with old, experienced fighters, Ruchi was defeated in most of her bouts. The silver lining was that she lost many by just a touch. “We have to bridge a huge gap to reach that level. Not many in our country know of this Olympic sport, let alone practise it,” admits Ruchi.
It is this knowledge that makes her practise diligently, week after week, through her examinations as well as holidays. She wants to set a standard for others to attain.
Ruchi entered the sporting arena thanks to a chance occurrence. The honour of unearthing the latent talent doesn’t go to any of the much-hyped “catch-them-young” schemes. A tenant at their house, Captain Rao, a weightlifting coach at the Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports, Patiala, was instrumental in her initiation into fencing. The year was 2003. Ruchi went to the premier sports institute, was introduced to fencing coach Mohit Ashwini, and the journey to the podium began with this small but momentous step.
Ruchi applied herself selflessly as the coach showed immense faith in the beginner. Showering praise on her has been the coach’s mantra as he teaches the finer nuances of the sport to the emerging fencer.
“When I am mentally down, it is my coach who tells me to believe in myself completely, as he does. It is his complete trust in my ability to go forward that has been instrumental in my progress this far,” she says giving full credit to Ashwini.
Apart from her coach, Arun Kumar Vij, secretary-general of the Fencing Association of India, has been encouraging Ruchi to perform to her potential.
“If everything goes according to plan, Ruchi can deliver in the next four or five years,” says Ashwini.
Right now Ruchi is practising daily for the Junior World Fencing Championship in South Korea from April 9 to 15, followed by the Junior Asian Fencing Championship later that month.
