/lit/ - Literature

What's the most /lit/ book about fences like ever?

>>14873714
Yes, but only foil.

shouldn't have lunged if he didn't have right-of-way

>>14873714
the only /lit/ sport is nude greco-roman style wrestling

It's actually battle rap, but can't stop you from having your preference.

Did epee in hs

>>14873714
There's actually a trinity of sports followed by all true /lit/erati: Chess, Super Robot Wars, and Ninja Warrior.

Obviously it is judo! It actually has a philosophy behind it. I should also mention that it actually works and can be lethal.

>>14873824
Looks more like the dude on the right is doing a fleche and the dude on the left is doing a counterattack.

>>14873714
It's probably tennis, or some martial art. Either something leisurely or bloody. There is no in-between.

>>14873894
Plus, it looks like they're epeeists too so there is no right of way.

>>14873714
I was on track to be an olympic fencer until I started playing in bands and got into drugs, at which point I completely lost interest. Shame really, it was a lot of fun

Wrestling

It's sumo, because laughing at fat naked people wrestling each other for your pleasure is the true spice of life.

gib milkies

maybe at some point.
right now in 2020 it's basically LARPing and pretentious

>>14873877

>>14874150

Incorrect

No it's literally the sghittest and gayest sport, totally divorced from actual fencing

Good fencers make good neighbors.

>>14874800
I've done boxing for years and there is a clear and noticeable drop in IQ for people who go pro and regularly fight in competitions.

>>14874925
>actual fencing
?

>>14873803
Sorry, only sabre counts.

>>14873714
>take fencing from 10-13 years old
>love it
>teacher forces us to use these electronic uniforms one day out of the blue
>they give you slightly more accurate reads for the points system so they don't need a ref
>fucking ten pounds heavier, no AC in the building, sweat like a pig everytime i have to put it on
>immediately lose interest and quit
fuck that teacher and her retarded grant

>>14873892
no its
tai chi

>>14874925
true it looks immensely gay

This was debunked by Plato

>>14875461
Sabre is for barbarians and rabble.

>>14873714
>tag with sticks
Nope. Most /lit/ sport would be cricket.

>pic of some faggy modern shit
Atleast post some pics of mensur

t. state school prole

It has and always will be auto racing. It's only for the intelligent, rich, and courageous

>>14873714
Rowing. Boys go in and chads come out. It's like serving in the army, but for the wealthy.

If the phrase "/lit/" is comparable to "written Kino" then I would argue it would have to be an actual combat sport like boxing or MMA. The contemporary warrior poet is allowed to exist because of pugilism and MMA, which is really just a more advanced version of the ancient Greek sport pankration. Fencing is not some high IQ contact sport, it is the de-evolution of real sword-fighting, the cute poodle descendant of the vicious wolf.

You're a fucking pussy, electric lames are standard practise.

>sweat like a pig everytime
Maybe lose weight

>>14876003
i was fairly chubby for the first year, but if that shitty gear is the standard im glad i quit. i don't want or need a bunch of electric bullshit on me, it sapped all the fun out of the practice matches.

>>14876010
You never had the makings of a varsity fencer.

>>14876014
oh no, my lucrative fencing career lmao
nigger i was a kid and wanted to learn a sport/have fun. i wasn't hunting up scholarships.

top tier blade sport coming through

>>14875940
no point being a rower if you aren't on roids

>>14875444
you know, dueling with rapiers and stuff that they were still doing in the 18 and 1900s, you'd struggle to kill someone with a modern fencing "weapon" if you tried

>>14875406
Interesting. Why is that? I'll start boxing some day

>>14873714
Fencing technique is unrealistic, german fencing (mensur) however is the true lit sport.

>>14876181
you get punched in the head a lot

>>14876190
How to avoid that?

Grown men without a Schmiss are certified pantywaists.

>>14876214
any boxer is going to end up with some amount of brain damage, but if you are a technical fighter with good defence or in certain weightclasses and retire before you take too much damage you will be alright

>>14873714
>get murdered to death .5 seconds later
>i totally win, guise!
lmao

>>14875406
if you haven't dropped your masterpiece by the time you are 23 you are never gonna make it either way

>>14873714
Sports are for normies

>>14876217
Yes. I'm going three weeks in Germany this year just for that

CHESS BOXING

Only because the Marquis of Queensbury did us all the favor of shutting that great hack Wilde up for good.

>>14875662
the era of the pompous, academic, cultured wannabe aristocrat is over lad. You just need to look at anyone who went to an Ivy League school to know they're retarded.
The new artists are the mentally ill people who went to public highschools.

This. Boxing or tennis, for sure. Either a sport for the poor of the poor or a rich man's sport. Fencing is for nerds, the only "writers" who fence are the same people who write "plots" and "jokes" for Elder Scrolls games
