Hey guys,
Being relatively new to the sport, I wonder what you think are the most important factors for success in fencing: talent, hard training, good physical shape, speed…
Thank you,
It is certainly an open question... I think that good training and coaching are the key elements to succeed in fencing. One has to understand the actions and have a certain technical repertoire to perform them, but physical shape, speed and even talent are not crucial in this sport. You do need motivation and perseverance to invest a lot of time and effort in learning. Plus it is important to have a pool of people of your level or better to practice with, otherwise competing on a higher level becomes very hard.
