DIAMOND BLADE FENCING
Diamond Blade Fencing Club is offering a fun and unique experience for children 5-12 years old who have no experience or are at beginner level. Not only is fencing a beautiful and elegant sport by the nature of it’s movements, it’s also a very broad discipline as it teaches your MIND & BODY to work together. One learns to think and move fast. It also challenges your reaction time against your opponent so you learn to make decisions very quickly. A child learns invaluable life skills while engaging in fencing as a sport. The techniques can be taught and learned methodically, allowing a fencer to develop a good memory as well as patience and perseverance along the way. Fencing is a well-rounded sport. Some of the other topics covered are:
- Foundation, history, rules & techniques in fencing
- Coordination drills
- Agility and strength exercises
- Stress on the importance of respect and discipline
- Sportsmanship & camaraderie
- Further development of fine motor skills
- Focus & Concentration
