Is fencing a noble fun sport?

Question

I'm asking this because i take fencing and my blade is a foil.

Answer 1

Noble would not be my first choice of adjectives to describe fencing.
The Art of Swordsmanship has been practiced since the sixteenth century. Fencing develops agility and speed and builds strength and dexterity.
To be a good fencer, you need patience and skill. Some fencers call the sport fun and some call it a serious competition. Enjoy it. It is guarranteed to increase your hand eye coordination, poise, civility and general ability to focus and concentrate, if nothing else.

Answer 2

Fencing Fun

Answer 3

Noble?
At one time in Europe swordsmanship (and later fencing) was considered a gentleman's pursuit.
This, however, does mean as much in modern times. Before the common use of electric equipment in fencing cheating by judges and fencers was fairly common. This was esp. prevalent at high level competitions including the Olympics. Not very noble by my standards.
There is still a 'noble' view of fencing, esp. since most of those who do so are able are upper class. Thankfully we have people like Peter Westbrook who are changing that.

Fun?
Well I've been fencing for nearly 8 years and absolutely love it. As was said before me, fencing is good for endurance, flexibility, hand-eye coordination, etc. It also requires intelligence, hence the nickname physical chess.
