    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I fenced competitively from Junior high through university. Love it, fantastic sport. I'm happy to answer what I can, but I've been out of it for a lot of years now.

    Fencing is as much of a sport as golf.

    Calgary fencing club and epic are the ones I know. The head coach at epic (Elya) is a guy I grew up getting with and he was a good fencer and good dude. They would be the more competitive clubs if that is what you want.

    I think those are pretty far away. The Calgary fencing thing is really close

    I'm sure getting started with any club is good, and then if you're kid wants to compete, they could move to a different club. Tournaments are really fun and a great competitive experience, but I get that's not everyone's cup of tea

    The good news. Is your kid is going to be good with a sword to defend from all the ass kickings he’s going to get.

    You might also want to consider fox hunting or jousting while you're in the market for old-timey pursuits.

    Thought this would be about getting your kids to sell stolen goods.

    Rite Way would probably put him to work. Give Jerry Badgley a call

    I’ve fenced for a while (foil), and know a few folks from CFC, Gladiators, and Epic. Any of them would be fine for your kid to begin training and practicing the fundamentals. It’s a fun sport - unique, small community, gives a good sweat.

    I run a fencing/pentathlon program out of the MNP centre. It's a small community but I wouldn't say any more expensive than soccer/hockey is.
    Definitely a unique sport and similar to martial arts where it's an individual effort.
