COVID19 PROTOCOLS:
ALL students have their own equipment or have equipment assigned to them.
By the nature of fencing, athletes should keep arm's length away from each other,
making fencing a COVID19 safer sports in which to participate.
Age is but a number.
Fencing is for Everyone who is looking for a fun challenge.
If you can walk, you can fence.
And, if you can't walk, you can do wheelchair fencing.
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 your brain as much as your body.
