    @ jaded empath

    Military service is okay, but I chose civil service instead simply because work-experience is more valued in the job-markets.

    Ahhh, NOW we get to the crux of it!

    'pretentiousness', aye...I can see that. :lol:


    But then, I can see the snub of "I fence" being retorted with "Oh? Chain-link or post-and-rail?" :shake:

    Never properly had a go, though it is something I intend trying in the future.

    The sword style I train in is more similar to the videos in the link posted by Kitrax, although I am nowhere near the skill level of James Williams. My tameshigiri is actually rather rubbish at the moment.
