#rey talks

I'm too lazy to mark which ones were said by me and which were said by my coaches but tbh I think it's funnier this way

"Make new friends and then STAB them!" "I can't believe you're supporting violence!" "I'm supporting SAFE violence!"

"Rey, go fence someone else!" "I'm already hooked up, I'm just waiting for one of these people to fence me." "You take initiative, point your blade at them, and challenge them!" "This is 2023, not the 1700s!"

The problem with moving at the speed of light is that you're always in the dark.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

It's okay, it's just blood! Back in the day, we died! *continues the bout* (this is from another fencer, not me)

If you can master this technique, the whole world will cower before you.

There IS a next world, and I CAN send you there.

If you're afraid of getting hit, you should not be in a combat sport.

Sabre is for barbarians. *owner of the club pats the sabre coach on the back as an apology*

"Please carry my body to the funeral home." "I'm CPR-certified. Nobody is allowed to die in my class."

Those ass cheeks be clappin'! (tbh I forgot the context for this when the assistant coach for the Saturday class said this but it's funny)

"Coach, you sound like a music teacher today." "Don't make me bring out the metronome!" (after the coach said something about rhythmic set pieces)

In the time it takes for you to attack, I can walk to Starbucks, order coffee, come back and THEN you hit me. (said by the sabre coach)

"If y'all don't hurry up, I will stab you!" "You know, since this is a fencing class, I'm not so sure that will work as a threat."
