And no I’m not talking about the gay modern fencing you see on at the Olympics, using flimsy foils with plastic tips and full body armor.
Picrel is what fencing used to be like before (((they))) took control. Metal goggles to protect eyes and nose that’s it. A fencing scar on the face was seen as a very high badge of honor.
Seems like every sport is getting progressively pussified.
Compare then to what these pussies wear nowadays
just do wrestling or bjj faggot
grapplechads wya
yes grappling is very valuable as a skill for defending yourself but you don't want to try it on someone with a blade
Those just look like blood smears and not cuts
Hard to tell in that old photo. Fencing scars were very real though.
>Metal goggles to protect eyes and nose
and the neck. cutting yourself (knowing that there is no significant risk) isn't impressive, teenage girls do it often
C'mon bro, who wants to get stabbed in the face?
They made you look cool and proved you were a badass. Now it just means you got mugged.
niggers wouldnt be able to keep their cool in picrel... every weekend u would have dead nigger stabbed in the heart because the other nigger went beserk after he got his monkey face cut
Having a scar like that could get you any girl back in the day
because kikes and women are obsessed with safety... except for the people who run society though ... those need to die
yeah no thanks nigga i aint gettin my shiet sliced up lmfao
no when they have a blade that's when you want taekwondo. genius
This, only whites have the capacity to say "fuck, nice shot". subhumans just go berserk
hockey goalie before masks
Just read the wikipedia article on dueling scars and now I kinda want to get stabbed in the face. I stand corrected. Lmao at the example wikipedia (((editors))) used.
“Academic” fencing was a super niche activity exclusively practiced in German fraternities. Nobody else intentionally injured themselves. Mussolini trained saber the same way people do now with the exception that they didn’t have electric scoring back then.
Nope, that's called Mensur, it's not real fencing. It was done in Burschenschaften to intentionally inflict facial scars, without risking disabling injuries. They weren't even allowed to move their feet to ensure safety.
They simply "fenced" trying to hit each other's head hoping to get scars.
Fencing swords hurt like a bitch it is basically a metal switch.
They wanted those scars, real face masks existed back then and they chose not to wear them. Might as well be a body modification freak and cut them yourself now since it's only for aesthetics.
