So, Yes, it's for everyone who wants to try!
Fencing is a parable for Life:
There is always someone out to get you. It's a matter of wisdom to know whether you should deal with them more offensively or defensively.
Fencing teaches this insight and wisdom.
Fencing is considered one of the SAFEST Olympic sports according to the National Athletic Trainer's Association (NATA).
Fencing is considered an 'Athletic Chess.
For every move there's a counter move.
There are studies that suggest that fencing can stave off the onset of Alzheimer's. Why? Because fencing uses our brain as much as your body.

Both Rocky River High School and Cyrano's Place teammates Max and Shane finished 2nd and 3rd in the Men's foil. Both earning their E25 rating. (Ratings in fencing are similar to belts in martial arts. However, they are earned by competition prowess.)
In addition to Shane and Max's success, Cedric and his mighty long epee arm claimed 3rd in Men's epee
Shane, representing Rocky River HS and Ronin placed 2nd and 3rd in Men's Saber at the 2025 Chapman Invitational. (Yes, we know that Shane is a foilist. But good footwork and distance is universal to all weapons. )
Elijah and Cedric placed 9 and 10th in Men's Epee to earn their E25.
Nigel finished 5th in Men's foil and 6th in Men's epee.
Quiye Li come to train with us (inditrectly) from China and CWRU. He's a mere 6'4. Coach Sara was seen standing on a chair to speak to him eye to eye. It worked; he earned his D24 in saber today.
Ricky found his stride in Epee today. He had 1 loss all day (in his pools) to place first and earn his Epee D24!
Jonah shifted to saber this summer. Good choice for him! Today at WRA he got his groove on and beat teammate Liam (who earned his E24 earlier this season) to finsh 3rd earning his E24!
