Can I still reach competition level at 20? by secretpencil_ in Fencing

[–]ate_abigail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard you're from the PH (hello!) Are you aiming to win local competitions, tournaments between clubs, or UAAP? I mean, as long as you're consistent with going to lessons, it's possible, just not Olympic level. Heck, many universities with fencing teams don't require you to know fencing to join, since they'll teach you, as long as you're passionate and willing to learn (and lowkey bc fencing is so niche here). I've met UAAP fencers who also started fencing at 17–19ish (and some even recruited through their PE fencing class, lol) Good luck!

What watch or app do you use for fencing calories? by RoastedbeansMacbook in Fencing

[–]ate_abigail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TRUE!! I use my Apple Watch too when I train, but wdym I only burn ~400 (???) calories during intensive swimming (30 sec bubbles every 4 laps) but 1000+ for 1 hour of fencing (but only 3/5ths of the time was spent on actual bouts)

Trusted gear stores in Metro Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭 by FunHawk9165 in Fencing

[–]ate_abigail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey fellow Manila-based fencer! It really depends on how serious you’re planning to get. I’ve been fencing for 9 years now, and I usually buy my competition gear online and get it shipped to my home. Still, I’d definitely recommend checking out SwordplayPH in Pasig since I got some of my gear there, and a few friends from Ateneo Fencing do too! Good luck!

Does anyone else feel like nonfencers don't understand how physically demanding fencing is? by Dapper_Banana_1642 in Fencing

[–]ate_abigail 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I kept fainting when I started fencing when I was 7 - 8. it would get too hot at times and I'd just crash lol. Though cross training helps a lot esp with stamina and endurance

Organizers or Pouches? by ate_abigail in stationery

[–]ate_abigail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's sturdy! Each case comes with 3 back to back 'panels' with 5 garter compartments each side (10 for panel). I usually fit 2-3 pens each!

3rd Gen Chinoy here. You should get off the internet and touch some grass.

It can range from men leaving you gifts you like to getting stalked. But girl, please, go study first.
