A vet Binghamton fencer tells me the other day his dream is to keep moving into old age. Fencing is one of the few physical activities vets and seniors participate in competitively sometimes until we die. Rowing is another and if you walk rather than drive the cart, golf. It is difficult to overstate how healthy the swords are for us +40 and +60 year olds. The movement and mental stimulation are brisk without being to jarring. I have seen people who looked like they were goners rehabilitate themselves from double knee surgeries and all sorts of health problems to further improve as fencers and even compete. Fencing is always something we can return to even if only being able to stand and push a sword into the wall for a little while. Then the legs begin to move, back and forth, then sit down and tell stories.
