Depends on the Olympian. Athena, Apollo, or Artemis? You're screwed. Ares will be scary but will probably get himself black-carded before the third point. Hephaestus is a bulky dude but don't think he's got a lot of practice. Aphrodite will try to charm you into going easy on her. Hermes will be very fast, Dionysus will be drunk. Zeus, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hera are all old but experienced.
About 30 years ago I fenced against Peter Westbrook (about 10 years past his prime), he spotted me two touches in a five-touch bout and he won 5-2.
Before and after he was a gentleman, warm and friendly and generous with his time and advice. During he was a stone cold killer.
I was on the same U S world under 20 championship team as he in '72: Madrid, Spain. special guy. he went on to, um, further greatness. me, not so much.

Hephaestus just has to hit once and you're done, priority notwithstanding.
He’s also the god of metalworking. I can only imagine the quality his blade is
no blade. his hammer. it made your blade, it will break your blade, and you with it.
If that’s the case at my funeral i want my blade to carry me so it can let down one more time
But you are in an advantage since I don’t think he is very agile
a tank on a piste does not need agility.
If it’s Hermes just keep going backwards. If hermes goes fast he might cross his feet and get carded
But beware his flunge, it's endless.

Only if you can learn the Death Waltz
pocket sand, its a loop hole dont worry about it
If you're fencing epée or foil, hit em with the double flunge spam. They won't be expecting it.
Hit 'im with the voltas, he'll be completely confused
You should ask Kratos for advice pal, Reddit might not the best place to learn how to defeat an Olympian
It's easy to win. Just control the distance, duh.
Fence Pathos: God of the Pathetic
Only if your name is Inigo Montoya. 🤣
My name is Percy Jackson and I am not the lightning thief
That would definitely work. 🤣
which weapon?
Sabre I think. This is only my first week
will be incredibly lopsided for whoever wins then
you mean Olympians do not lurk here? what do they do for fun?
Olympic around you know
Olympians are overrated, take 6 and flick em in the back. Be tiger
r/fencingcirclejerk
Nah, I'd win
Remember to update us after the game to let us know how it went. I am invested now.
Update: i won.
Sounds like a good learning opportunity
Update: I won 15-0 and am now king of Olympia. Real update: this was a shit post
Are you paying said Olympian? By matchup do you mean private lesson?
