I did, from age ~13-19. It was one of the only consistently positive experiences during my childhood, I miss it a lot

I tried other clubs but it's just not the same. Haven't found a good fit yet

I'm sure there's something out there. I've been lucky that I still live where I've always lived so I managed to never have to give up my Tai Chi group.

That said I bet changing your environment has it's pluses. I got a buddy that's been trying to get me in Arizona for years and it is a tempting offer.

Ranks go from A-E, and then unranked is where everyone starts. You win and renew ranks by placing in USFA-approved tournaments. I won a E-classified tournament and ended up with... I think E2010 or E2009 (the numbers are just the most recently refreshed year). It expires after a few years though so I'd have to re-obtain it. It takes a few years to give from unranked to E, depending on how many tournaments you go to. I got pretty close to D once but placed 4th. After C rank it takes longer to progress because the higher-echelon tournaments are less frequent. I've beaten C-rank fencers before so at the time I was probably at a skill level around D-rank. Somewhere in my attic I think I still have some of my trophies.

I'm blind in one eye though so I don't have depth perception, which was a pretty difficult handicap but I got by. Tournaments are fun except for when you get eliminated early on and then have to sit around until it's over lol

It really is a fun sport though. A good combination of dexterity, strength, and game-theory/psychology. The big downside is that the equipment costs are high because you need a bunch of protective equipment and weapons you like. But intro courses and clubs often lend these things out so you can get a feel for the sport.

Yeah I failed my driver's license renewal the other day because of it. Dense amblyopia in my right eye makes it legally blind

Damn bro sorry to hear that

it's just a part of life, everyone has their own situations to deal with
