Have always thought about fencing and swordfighting. Who could read fantasy novels and not? Who could watch any version of the Three Musketeers (maybe not the Disney version) and not want to fence?
I came somewhat close in some ways having done a number of years worth of martial arts that included some minor use of swordwork.
I personally don't think I have the speed of reflexes that would be needed, but I could be wrong. Anyways, thought this little blurb from the CBC was amusing.

Well, OK, maybe not. (Or maybe yes!)
My brother and a few of his friends looked into fencing classes last year. :)
