Bring Houston Sword Sports to work with you!
What is fencing?
- The essence of fencing is to hit without being hit. Fencers must be able to find the right time to strike while defending from the opponent’s strikes. This develops the mind as well as the body.
- Fencing is an exciting, safe, alternative sport. Although fencing is as old as the pharaohs, modern fencing is rooted in the swordplay of the European Renaissance. The gentry would practice as a sport and fight the occasional duel, with the emphasis always to hit without being hit. Fencing is finding the right time to strike while defending against your opponent. It develops the mind as well as the body.
