my friend’s dad used to volunteer to come to school and teach fencing to a handful of us after school. I greatly enjoyed it, but there was no competitive aspect; there were no other school teams to play against. I went to college and they had sort of the same set-up, a club with all the gear and space, but no competitive collegiate circuit; no team. the only instructor was teaching 30 incoming freshman who’d never touched a foil. really wish we’d have had a team, it’s the one sport that I’m actually built for.
