13 is an excellent age. I played from my 11th till my 16th and it's a great sport. I competed in the Dutch Championships twice with decent reults (once 7th on Epee and once on Foil) and various other competitions like the Dutch Open championships (we even had russians coming over for that one). I ended up 4th on that one.

Maybe you've ever heard of Siebren Tiggelaar or Bas Verwijlen? They were in my....uhm..club? I used to train with Siebren.

I don't play now. Things got too intense for something that I wanted to be a hobby. But it's really fun to do and I've been thinking about starting again.
