There’s an old Hungarian saying:
If you walk up behind a fencer with a
balloon, pop it!
If it’s a foilist he will lunge
instantly
If it’s an epeeist he will just stand
there
If it’s a sabreur he will turn around
and kick the **** out of you.

Sunday is
the due day. It’s up to us whether we will stand at the podium holding out a
medal and having a face plastered with a victorious smile or…
Go back home
with our heads held up high and maybe,
With our
heads hanging so low and with tears streaming down our face.
Which one?
It’s 10%
what happens to us and 90% how we are going to respond to it.
It’s fine
being cocky. Just don’t underestimate your opponent.
We don’t
have any ball to be past to, it’s just our own opponent and us.
We may not
be knights in shiny armours but we are fencers.
And fencers
play metal sticks with style.
Don’t
underestimate us because…
The foilists
will stab your chest until it has thousands of holes
The sabreurs
will slice your body completely with no mercy at all
The epeeists
will bind all of your moves and left your pride down in the mud
----ooOOoo----
My fencer fellows and I are going to go on our very first competition on Sunday.

Here's a song by Muse, "Survival" was used as the London 2012 Olympic's soundtrack. May this lift up your spirit, whoever you are.
One thing for sure is that I don't aim for the medal, I aim to slay all of my opponents.
Because that what we fencers do.
We slay them with our swo--
Ok enough said.
