Fencing as an adult

Would you mind telling some more? Idk, stories, whatever, anything you would tell someone that is interested in fencing.. I was planning to keep on lifting but doing some fencing in the meantime. I'd like the mental aspect of it i guess, but what do you mean exactly? Will to fight, or strategies, concentration and such..? I have heard lines like this before but they never really elaborate what they mean by this.

I know, but I'm not builtfat and nor do i wish to become that. Plus those fights look extremely aggressive and I actually dislike aggression. I'd much rather like to overcome someone with finesse and wits than pure strength..

Finesse and wits is epee. It's the only weapon without right of way, which is a set of rules that turns fencing into chess, instead of starcraft, if you get my meaning.

Yeah I read up some on it, but saber seems to be more logical (using the blade to cut). Also your analogy hit home because I used to play both chess and sc2 competitively.

Anyhow, could you tell some more about saber vs epee? Most fencing around here is epée but I could get into saber eventually if I wanted.
