Benefits of Fencing

Children have a strong desire to fence because of their imagination: the clashing of blades, the excitement of a duel, and the fun of wearing and using all the gear. Once they begin to learn modern fencing they are quickly faced with the many challenges of the sport, but along with that is the joy of seeing one’s improvement, outthinking their opponent, creating new friendships, and a unique way to be physically active. They learn to make complex decisions, analyze problems, and think quickly. They learn to rebound and work harder after a defeat. Eventually with persistence and dedication there will be many opportunities to travel to exciting places for competitions, be accepted in a top-notch college, and perhaps be a member of the USA team. In summary, if children enjoy fencing, they will develop important skills not only for the sport, but also in all aspects of their lives.
