He who lives by the sword lives long.

Fencing is one of those exercises that employs the mind as well as the body, and, in fact, employs it more than the body, the further a man advances in proficiency. From the first it supplies the excitement of contest, and depends so much on art and address that the man of superior mind always makes the best fencer in the end.
