Replies duesxmachina Posted at 9:34 am on Aug. 9, 2008 why don't they have ball points instead? or baloons on their head and you have to pop it? jk that sucks they get hurt. violaghost Posted at 9:33 am on Aug. 9, 2008 I fence - I can answer. It does not hurt when you are hit. It does not physically hurt, but it is incredibly frustrating. The amount of emotion and suspense that is built up during the swordplay is immense, and is usually released with a scream once either of the opponents scores. the mixed tape Posted at 9:32 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Well, just because they are wearing the armor, doesn't mean that they can't still get hurt.

It's all part of the game. :D They don't grunt, they make orgasmic sounds   Aero360 Posted at 9:31 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Not only that, but screaming builds your enthusiasm a bit. I make karate noises when I play basketball.  It helps a lot. I got to block a shot, 'HIYAHHHHHHH!' Aero360 Posted at 9:30 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Imagine if you were a knight.  Wearing all that armor and a heavy chain mail.  Someone swings a goddamn sword at you, you're still afraid.  It can still hurt.  It can pierce your protection.
