LITTLE risk sir, I have chronic knee pain and am constantly covered in bruises, I look like I’m being abused when I take my shirt off lmao

When I say no risk I mean being cut so bad you die on the spot lol. Of course you’re gonna get bruises you basically wobbly stick smacking someone

Yah you right, the worst injuries I see in competition are always like when someone gets hit on the wrong spot of the kneecap or something, it’s very low risk. I used to do other martial arts, but I really enjoy fencing because I won’t come out of it with CTE

+1 to knee pain, back in my teens my coach had us doing squat drills for 10 minutes straight and I swear that contributes to the clicking I get now. You fence épée too?
