"Kids these days are often said to have low personal resilience. Indeed they seldom experience adversity in life, but can we blame them? Fencing is a one-against-one contest. There is a winner and there is a loser. Learning to fence is about learning to face success and failure and to accept that failure is inevitable." (cuhk.edu.hk, 01 Sep 2018)
