Fencing

Thanks!

It is pretty rich people stuff. but it also attracts alot of people who read a song of ice and fire and want to swordfight.

I want to get really good at a sport.

fencing is a sport autists only exist in the beginning like soccer or highschool football.

what type do you play?
is it fun?

I love fencing

Are there any ways to improve reaction time? Like that browser game where you want have to press the mouse button when it hits red or whatever, but i don't imagine that has any carry-over.
