Knowing that I am not a natural athlete, I decided to enter a competition more in line with my skill set: fencing. The mental battle was certainly something I felt better prepared for. I joined the less lethal "Stun" level, where you receive ever stronger levels of shock as you lose points to your opponent. On the flip side retreating becomes less of an option with the Pink Crested Scorpions at each end that deliver a non-lethal but painful sting that also gets worse the more you are stung. Most people say that after your 3rd sting the hallucinations begin to set in and that by the 5th sting you won't be able to stand up. So while this particular fencing event may not be as deadly as others, it is by no means considered a safe choice. My Kawashita opponent might have an advantage coming from a more warrior oriented background, but I'm sure my mental advantage will be sufficient to give me the edge I need.
