As a time-honored sport, we believe that fencing teaches good sportsmanship and self-discipline, fosters a healthy attitude towards individual as well as team competition, and stimulates the mind by providing rewards for using sound judgement. Through fencing we teach everyone to enjoy winning and to profit from defeat, with the benefit of physical exercise. Fencing is also a great activity for developing general athletic skills including: hand to eye coordination, speed, and agility.
