Fencing
It all began when I was 7 years old when I signed up for club fencing. Now I have 7 going on 8 years of experience, however, during most of those years I was doing foil fencing in South Africa and now I do epee in Ireland. I was always the youngest fencer back in South Africa, and consistently won because I didn't really have much competition. Now I compete with the best in Ireland and I have only won 1 event out of the three I have attended and got 3rd in another.

It was an absolute honour to compete in an International Mens Team Épée Memorial in honour of Prof. Paddy Duffy hosted in the Trinity Sports Centre in the heart of Dublin. We fenced teams from all over Western Europe from countries such as France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and Ireland. I fought to the best of my ability and managed to walk away with two victories, many draws and comebacks. The team worked like a well oiled machine but we were just not good enough against the other fencers who were a lot older than we were.
