Angelina Jolie IS a Fencer!!!
June 20, 2009I’m begining to think fencing is way BIGGER than I even realized! A 16-year old Angelina Jolie talks about how fencing helped her develop her graceful movements and her dream to one day have a big weapon room to hold fencing swords!!! (I wonder if she has one now???)
She also explains that she initially started ”fencing” with brooms as a young kid and then went to the West Side Fencing Center! In the interview, she describes the sport, the movements, the uniform and even shows us her fencing arm movement!
I think it’s time we invite her to a fencing competition!
Darn it…she’d probably get her A before I do!
A wonderful, disciplined sport. So graceful and so fulfilling. Many years ago I was being taught (after having fenced thru university) by Columbia’s head coach of their men’s fencing.
A sissy sport it is not! I wish I had kept up with it. After reading about it now, I’m once again reminded how much I enjoyed competing with the the foil, Would that I
could return with full regalia! But at 81….. Hm-m-m….
I had a student, rita weymouth, who took up fencing for the first time at age 91. she was amazing
