You call it 2017 but this copy pasta has been around since at least 2015.
I guess its kinda true if your going by competent fighter pools, but that's kind of a boring way to judge martial arts.

>Mid-tier: SCA, Kendo
>Bottom tier: Fencing, HEMA
Granted some of the rapier oriented SCA are well regarded. Give a sport fencer a smallsword (a giant murder spike), or a real dueling sabre to the sabreurs, and I'd be scared as shit.
HEMA is amazing, but I feel like we need more higher-level fencing and grappling to show people what we got. And not people specializing in just one weapon set. Let's actually follow the zettel and wrestle well, fence well with the sword, the spear, the messer and the knife.
