So many things go into fencing. We believe if you can learn to fence, you can open yourself up to many of its benefits. Unlike many team sports, fencing is mainly an individual sport. Fencing does have a team component – however, even with its team event, when you are on the fencing strip, it’s really just you against your opponent. There is no one else but you. Unlike soccer, baseball, or football, there is no one else to blame, no one else to take up the slack. You have to take responsibility for your own actions.
Neither brute force, speed, height, nor mental acuity alone, will convey success. We are all different, and a fencer can only be successful when they learn to recognize their own abilities and use them effectively.
Our fencing clinics are meant to inspire and get the kids to understand the fundamentals. We hope they continue to use what we teach, be the person that makes a difference in the community, and go on to show the world what they can do and what they are made of.
Fencing Forward wants to encourage every fencers to work hard and dream big!
