Fencing is very French
I love red wine and cheese so frenchies are ok in my book
“Fencing is very French”
That only seems so, and only in America, because of the popularity of some 19th century French novels, which were then made into movies. Tell a Russian or a Hungarian that fencing is French.
Every fairly advanced country likes fencing more than we do.
Even frigging Tonga has more fencers per capita than we do. (Of course, that’s only about two guys, but still...)
What we lose sight of is that it is actually a martial art.
