• Physical Chess — Fencing earned this nickname by being as challenging mentally as it is physically. The sport is mind-consuming and doesn’t allow for a moment’s rest. Time in a fencing club helps people of all ages develop discipline, balance, coordination, and sportsmanship.

• Transferable Skills — More than just parries, lunges, and ripostes, fencing teaches students to develop lightning-fast reflexes. People who fence are able to quickly analyze tactical situations and solve problems on the fly.

• Scholarship Potential — Top universities around the country are always looking for talented fencers for their teams. A mastery of the sport can give students a leg up in the all-important race for college acceptance and lucrative scholarships.

• Rich History —  Fencing’s history goes back millennia. It is one of the only four sports to be included in every modern Olympic Games since the first in 1896. It was also a sport in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece.

• Fun Times — Put simply, fencing is fun! People don’t just join fencing clubs for physical and mental workouts. They do it to make friends, have fun, and create memories. You’ll be able to do all of that and more at Advance Fencing & Fitness Academy.
