Curiosity : Fencing, of Spanish origin

Anyway, I tried to apply some of this creative fencing in my latest article (which is also about creativity). Feel free to check it out. Cheers

I found this quote

Creativity is the art of fencing

It was unclear whether it referred to Javier's fencing or Ken's fences. 

A choice between the thrusts and parrys of outrageous fortunes or to go heavy metal or which shade varnish Maybe paint it.

Whose for watching paint dry?

I also want to see if in the next few weeks this post without any rigor will be positioned in google 🤣🤣 anyway Fencing could be Spanish LOL🤣🤣

Considering that the Spanish reigned over the high seas (and the low seas too, probably) and that the sword was the weapon of choice for most people those days, it isn't far-fetched to assume that fencing (particularly with the rapier/foil sword) is of Spanish origin. Still, the French had a good grasp of it too, as I remember my first fencing instructor, back in London, being a Frenchman. Also, well-known are the sword duels among gentlemen during the years of the French peak. Regardless of who can claim being the original rapier-yielding fencer, it's a fascinating weapon of more civilized times (though I personally prefer the saber sword as well as the epee one). Cheers

I need a new fence in the back paddock, Renée. Can I rely on your kids to do the job? Or how about you, @Franci 🐝Eugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador ?  I need the jib done “swiftly”.  

You hardly provide a convincing case for the origins of such a disputed topic, Javier. Furthermore, I propose that we Aussies are ‘fencing’ experts extraordinaire. In the early 1900s we built the Rabbit Proof Fence (the longest fence in the world) to keep agriculturally damaging vermin out of Western Australia. Touché!
