Fencing is an Olympic sport, although NCAA Nationals is the farthest my team has gone. It's great exercise for both mind and body. It takes a lot of concentration and coordination to control your body such that you don't telegraph your intent to your opponent while still achieving optimum reach, strength, and positioning.
You are doing yourself a disservice by dismissing the sport and calling the practitioners names when you probably haven't even tried it. Of course people who sound like useless socialites scared of smelling like sweat for the length of a practice session would be utterly incapable anyway.
