Why try fencing?
Fencing has been around since the first Olympics Games and has been loved by athletes all over the world since then. It’s both an engaging physical sport and a challenging mental outlet that enables its participants to improve themselves in all aspects of life. There is no better day than today to start your fencing journey!

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
