Why Fencing?
Unlike most sports where the right body type, height, size, or bulk are a requirement for winning, top fencers come from all parts of the world (tall and short) and win based on strategy, fitness and clarity of the mind.
Fencing is a full-body workout that improves circulation, muscle strength, and endurance. It's a great way to burn calories and stay in shape. Its also a great way to anti age.
Fencing is a mental workout that requires quick thinking, strategic thinking, and the ability to adapt to your opponent. It’s a brain workout. It also helps with focus, discipline, and self-confidence.
Fencing can help you develop respect, sportsmanship, and the ability to win and lose gracefully.
Fencing can help improve your physical dexterity and mental acuity, which can be beneficial for other athletic or academic activities.
Fencing has been a part of the modern Olympic Games since 1896. It's a prestigious and elegant combative sport that's been enjoyed around the world since the Middle Ages. Every country has a rich history in mastering the sword. Fencing as a sport is a modern celebration of that.
Fencing can be an impressive extra-curricular activity for college applications. Many top colleges have fencing teams and offer scholarships.
Fencing can be a fun and engaging activity. Some fencers feel like they're swinging around lightsabers. Younger fencers take an immediate liking to the sport, in the right environment.
Fencing is considered a relatively safe sport, with fewer injuries than other Olympic sports. A study of injuries occurring in Olympic competition ranks Fencing as having one of the lowest injury rates, making it one of the safest Olympic sports.
About winning.
The concept of winning is often associated with competition and the idea that there can be only one winner. However, winning can also refer to a personal sense of achievement or progress, regardless of how others are performing, specially in the growing phases of life. However this does not take away from the concept of testing and hard competitions. Here winning is just about that, winning but against a praiseworthy fencer. So winning is also about grace and respect.
