40 before 40: Fencing
This is one dream that I didn't tell anyone until a few months ago when I made a l ist of 40 things I wanted to do before I am 40 . Since then, people have been curious as to why I wanted to learn how to fence. I only have two reasons: first, because I think the sport is graceful and second because of the kit. Yes, I am shallow that way. Honestly, I really didn't know anything about the sport until I saw Richard Gomez fencing on national television in the '90s. Since then, I held onto the dream that one day I'll be able to fence.

And although I waited for at least two months to start the course, it was well worth the wait. The course took place at Fighting Fit Fencing in Caledonian Road. The venue is not that hard to find as it is only about 2 minutes walk from the Caledonian Road tube station. O
