Name an interesting fact about yourself

It's required. You have to learn the technique. Nobody can do this without hard training. It already could take months till you are able to hit the opponents head properly and move your arm back to defence position fast enough... and this is just as basic move. Every hit has to be perfect already in training before you can have a duel. In most fencing fraternities you'll get kicked out if you don't participate in daily training, sometimes even if you come too late for training too often.
Even if you are a skilled fencer, you have to participate in training (called Pauken).

I have been pronounced dead for two minutes.

Why? Is it "too dangerous"? You can't die from this.

what happened? hope you're ok

I personally don't rate any thing that involves hits and injuries to the face and head area.

And the sword fight looks really retarded as you're just standing there one armed and flinging it like madmen

I was aware that there are differences. There are not limited to holmgang though, they also practice recontrefechten. I'm afraid that this club Holmgang Hamburg will be my only viable option.

I had never actually seen a mensur fencing video, interesting.

to be fair, it's an empty show of "masculinity", play-pretend nonsense - similar to teenagers going down streets and kicking trashcans.
