Its awesome, I'm a massive history buff, I've watched every Hema-tuber under the sun, but I'm worried about some things. 1. i am a beginner, and I've heard some people say i should start with Olympic fencing first. 2. i am a 5'4 little creature and I'm worried loaner gear wont fit me. 3. i am 16, i don't want to invade the space as a little baby boy and ruin the adult fun and i don't want people to be uncomfortable around me (although people say i look and sound 19). i really want to do this, it looks like something id enjoy. But what would yall recommend i do?

edit: (I am also a central Floridian so any club recommendations for a beginner and someone of my age would be great)
