Fencing is the gayest Olympic sport

[Unkotare]

I went to enough to determine that they still didn't understand the use of the kissacki.

It's dishonorable to use it, so they ignore it to their detriment.

Too much "they."


What do you consider tsuki?

Tsuki is a kendo thrust attack .

Also there was a major fight between samurai under the command of the governor of
Nagasaki and a Portuguese Captain whose name escapes me but it started with a v or a p, in the year 1610.

I think EVERYONE knows why you are obsessed with all things gay.

He isn't...but it's hard for him to come up with polygamy/incest themes at the Olympics.

Seriously. There are other homo sports like synchronized diving, rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating (in winter) and swimming, but fencing is the most homo. What do you think?

Here's an idea.....grab a couple of real Foils,sabres or Epee's and leave the mask at home.
Then go and challenge one these guys/girls to a little competition.

While I will agree it is a pussified version of the real thing(for obvious reasons),they get credit for it being a killing sport.

I will say I haven't watched any fencing. But if they act as gay as most Olympic athlete's seem to,I wouldnt be surprised if I came to the same conclusion myself.

You are changing the sport.....drastically. Swimming in a pool of sharks is deadly. Swimming in a pool of men wearing Pinocchio speedos is über gay. See the difference?

Ah, so we know where your focus was.

Fencing? Are you sure?

Well documented.

A link would be welcome.

I don't think there is much on the web yet but if you can find a copy of Giles Milton's Nathaniel's Nutmeg, or, The True and Incredible Adventures of the Spice Trader Who Changed the Course of History He covers the fighting the British did in the very early 1600's against samurai involved in the spice trade.

Also there was a major fight between samurai under the command of the governor of
Nagasaki and a Portuguese Captain whose name escapes me but it started with a v or a p, in the year 1610.

The gay in your posts is overwhelming.

Tsuki is a kendo thrust attack to the throat if my memory serves. In kenjutsu they give thrust attacks short shrift. They never developed the concept of the lunge, nor do they use diengages or coupee's.

Furthermore the Japanese never developed a hand attack, they concentrated on the wrists as their target area, rapiersmen on the other hand developed many different attacks that targeted the hand and more to the point they emphasized point control and the ability to hit a very small target, that was moving very quickly, with the tip of their swords.

In our club we practice this by dangling a ball bearing about 2/3 the size of a golf ball from a stand and set it swinging, your job is to hit the ball. After the second hit, it is swinging so wildly that it is a hell of a target. And yet we hit it fairly regularly.

The best fencers can hit a target about the size of a nickel while the opponent is attacking. And this target area is covered by the guard of the sword. However as the opponent makes the attack the guard will drop just a tad, around 1/4 of an inch, and that is all the opening they need to hit.

Thrust attacks to the throat. Hand attacks. Rapistsmen. And you belong to a dangling balls club. I would bet you are in tight with Chaz bono.

He doesn't see much of anything. He spends most of his life with his face pressed into a pillow.
