CHILDREN LOVE FENCING!

Fencing is an excellent sport for both boys and girls. It develops poise and flexibility, agility and tactical thinking. It is particularly attractive to the less traditionally sporty child and success in competition against their peers can do a great deal to boost a child's independence and self confidence. For the less competitive, there is a Grading system that allows a child to measure and record their achievement as they develop their fencing skills and knowledge.

 

Physically, fencing provides both aerobic and anaerobic exercise; it increases stamina and can help develop the cardio-pulmonary and cardio-vascular systems. It helps develop poise, balance and co-ordination.

 

The mental discipline required for fencing hones concentration and speeds decision making. It increases self-reliance and develops in the fencer the ability to seek alternative solutions to perceived problems. The competition structure, under the control of the Referee encourages a sense of fair play and a respect for your opponent.

Above all, fencing is FUN!
