Fencing is an ideal sport for children for many reasons. Firstly it uses up their energy and keeps them fit which will hopefully encourage an interest in physical fitness into adulthood. Secondly, fencing is a very technical sport requiring concentration and focus which means that it is not always the biggest who are the best. And lastly it’s a huge amount of fun!
If you have a child interested in taking up fencing as a sport then please contact us. Alternatively just come along to a session to see whether fencing is the sport for your child.
