Re: Fencing!
Fencing is awesome. 
I used to do it a while back (I stopped when I got busy with other stuff ^^; ), my weapon was the foil.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

No, I never did enter any tournaments, but I did face a couple of people before in duels. The Win/Lose ratio is about equal for me.
Funny thing is that my most memorable duel was one that I lost - I facing a guy who was nearly seven feet tall so he had the upper hand; I lost, but it was a good duel and I enjoyed it.
->Speaking of which, if you do ever go into a tournament of some sort, you'll want to learn how to dodge fast when facing an opponent who is taller than you to compensate for your striking distance (taller opponents usually have longer arms so they can move in to attack more easily).
