Does or has anyone here tried HEMA/fencing? I'm 45 minutes away from a HEMA club, and I'm curious if it's worth the time and gas to start going there, it looks like a really fun martial art, but also really niche
I just grease the groove in between chiv 2 and hellish quart matches. Sometimes I throw random rocks and deadwood outside or swing a sledgehammer around aimlessly until I'm out of breath
>>7674033299% of people who do hema are literal communist poly dnd role play former theater kid pretend pagan larpers. if you slip up they will ostracize you. i know this because my gym would rent out space for the local hema club and i saw it unfold many time.fencing is based. fencing is a good way to network in the way equinox gyms are a good way to network. go with fencing.
>>76740332Never done HEMA, but it looks fun. I have done olympic sabre and kendo, and those are both fun. Kendo was good for cardio, fencing not so much.

>>76740332Its a good time. Really tickles the 'tism. Don't expect it to be good self-defense training, its more just a fun thing to do after work and on weekendsAlso, if youre in the US, expect a lot of Vikings TV and Game of Thrones larpers
>>76740332did a little when I was teen. it was alright, but my club was pretty bad so idk how it is for others. 45 minute drive? I'd do something else that's closer. there's a Hema General on /xs/ if you want more info.>>76740725THAT'S KENDO FUCKING RETARD
>>76740725>filename>0 tits or hips, probably no ass toojust admit you like men nigga
>>76740968>looks at the most delicate woman he's seen in months that doesn't have weird fat pockets or exaggerated features>thinks of men
>>76740980>refers to breasts and hips (most natural thing a woman can have) as "weird fat pockets" or "exaggerated features"you aren't helping your case lil bro
>>76740999Alright, here's your perfect woman, jackass.
>>76741008so you admit you hate breasts and women with hipsI accept your concession, faggot
>>76741010You really think that ugly piece of shit trying to imitate dancing is just a woman with breasts and hips?Are you one of the fatass women that lurks /fit/ sometimes and talks down skinny women whenever they're posted? The kind that also tries to turn /fph/ into a fetish thread? Is that you?
>>76741015you know that it's possible for a skinny woman to have breasts, and wide hips have nothing to do with fat, right?
>>76741015It's a barely sentient humanoid that's darker than the depths of the ocean floor and you're sitting here seriously trying to converse with it
>>76740609Seriously? For me it is the exact opposite. Went to a tournament and they were pretty much as racist as I am. Based and redpilled people too.
>>76740609>99% of people who do hema are literal communist poly dnd role play former theater kid pretend pagan larpers.In the US.In Europe they're typical fat neckbearded nerds, twinks that think swords are cool and a few actually athletic guys who are pretty good at HEMA.
>>76740609Half true. The first HEMA club in my country was literally founded by the chairman of the local Nordfront chapter. It disbanded when he went public about his chuddery and picrel is what replaced it
