That being said, a negative of training sport fencing is that you'll train with a ALOT of pussies.
Yesterday while doing drilling the guy i was training with was unwilling to let me strike him (it was part of the drill) because he says it hurts.
He also complained that I gave him bruises that lasted for weeks, and that I hit with too much strength when sparring, so that therefore nobody wants to sparr with me.
Another time this chick complained about my agressive style and said "but, but that's not fencing". Whatever, I was beating her 5-0 while respecting the rules.
But fuck people that think like that. It's a combat sport and if I fight within the rules, I'll pierce the shit out of them if I feel like it.
The paradox is that the fact that I use too much strength should be at my own disadvantage, so I don't get why they are bitching.
I, for one, enjoy the bruises when someone catches me with a good strike on the rib cage or collarbone. It stings, sure, but it's absolutely nothing like the pain you'll get in Muy thai or Judo.
Meh.../end of rant. I just have a really hard time tolerating pussies.
