Are there no books?

>>9011116
Really? I had no idea.
I thought fencing would be right up /lit/'s alley, isn't it considered fairly highbrow?

It is pretty rich people stuff. but it also attracts alot of people who read a song of ice and fire and want to swordfight.

fencing is a sport autists only exist in the beginning like soccer or highschool football.

This. It's high-brow but there's plenty of people who show up thinking it's Star Wars or Pirates of the Carribean. They usually lack the discipline to get skilled, though.

I love fencing

thanks for the rec, i'll look into it.
I want to get semi-serious, and i'll need all the help i can get.
Are there any ways to improve reaction time? Like that browser game where you want have to press the mouse button when it hits red or whatever, but i don't imagine that has any carry-over.
