Semper Jab Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Does anyone here fence? I've heard that it's similar to boxing and I wanted to try it out and see if it could complement my training. Is it worth the time away from boxing? "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up." - Muhammad Ali
AndrewGreen Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Fendcing is great fun, Back in boxings beginnings (Broughton rules) it was based on fencing, taught by fencers.It may give you some new ideas about the jab, as essentially that is what it is all about. Footwork is quite different as it is all forward and back, but it definately won't hurt you... well maybe a little, but it will be a good hurt Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
UseoForce Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 It will certainly help, but would help TREMENDOUSLY if you practiced the more medieval, less rule constricted boxing. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
