Fencing is an Olympic sport with roots in European swordfighting of centuries past. Today, fencing is a competitive sport of strategy, finesse, and endurance. Fencing is an “open skills” sport that teaches young people important life skills such as decisionmaking, confidence, self-discipline, focus, and respect. And of course, fencing is fun!
