I started fencing at age 11 in 2016. The story of how I got into fencing is probably different from most as it was, in fact, a barbie movie that inspired me. Myself and my sister were obsessed with the barbie and the 3 musketeers movie and one day, while watching it, decided that we wanted to become musketeers. Though that didn't seem likely, a similar alternative was fencing. We gave it a try and loved it! We then found out more than a year later that fencing runs in the family having had our grandmother win the under 20 national women's foil in the 60s and having the competition named after her. I've loved it ever since and never looked back!
