| Fencing is one the fastest growing sports in the country, with national
membership doubling in the past ten years. Often referred to as "physical
chess," fencing is a safe and fun activity that hones both the
body and the mind. Modern fencers use 3 different (non-sharp) weapons;
the Foil, Epee and Saber. The swift and athletic bouts - conducted
on a 6 by 40-foot strip on which fencers score points on their opponents
electronically - can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
For the younger set, the sport helps to improve hand to eye coordination,
develop good sportsmanship, and enhance self-esteem and self-discipline.
Looking ahead for the older child, fencing is actively recruited
at the collegiate level, and is a way for students to distinguish
themselves in an increasingly competitive college entrance process.
For the busy adult or in the corporate workplace, fencing offers
a unique workout while reducing stress all within the space of a
lunch hour. It is a great way to sharpen mental acuity, giving employees
an alternative way to maintain wellness.
Fencing is a life long activity that provides an exceptional workout,
regardless of age or fitness level. If you are searching for an
exercise alternative that offers a total body aerobic workout, check
