    Depends, cheaper for kids, for adults usually around the price of a nicer rock climbing gym or like a premium ish gym (cheaper than someplace like equinox, pricier than somewhere like crunch)

    Tournaments super pricy but optional

    Equipment is dumb expensive but most places will let u rent or borrow and you need to use shitty equipment anyways till u know what u like. Then u usually get it piece by piece. But once u get it, it’ll last ur entire life unless ur like an athlete lol.

    It’s solo equipment only usually so u don’t need to worry about things like organizing a pitch or getting nets and goals and whatever, everyone brings their own stuff and the gym provides whatever else would be needed

    Fencing.

    Something about being 1v1 with an opponent and facing them in the closest sport to simulated combat other than a martial art just causes me to immediately hyperfocus during a bout. Probably the only time I’ve ever felt that ADHD is a strength.

    Also in fencing being skinny is a super duper great advantage.

    It’s fucking exhausting tho, a 2 minute bout will absolutely wipe u out at first, both muscularly and cardiovascularly.

    You’ll be incentivized to lift and do sprints to improve your technique.

    Practicing parries and ripostes is also anything but boring, with each repetition you really feel the intricacy of each motion and it’s never ever boring since you can just imagine your doing it against an opponent



  • I use both for gaming and imo unless you care about the adjustable trigger difference, it’s no different than the normal controller.

    Default back paddles map to existing buttons so nothing revolutionary

    Using the elite controller for robotics is awesome, I can map the back paddles to macros or keypresses and get extra inputs for remote controlling my robot, which is actually pretty nice
