“Fencing is more than just a sport; it’s a path to personal development and empowerment.”
Fencing has been, and will always will be, a big part of me – fencing brought a balance to my life. Fencing host such a diverse community, and it being a tactical and a physically demanding sport, it was the guide that really helped me to balance my academic and social life, and my overall well-being.
However, fencing is very self-centered and individualized. I knew that there needed to be a change. I wanted to bring the world of fencing to others who had no clue about fencing and the magic it brings. And that’s why it seemed inevitable for me to be a part of Youth Fencing Chicago.
