Our fitFENCE schools programs provides children with a fun introduction to the skills required in fencing. Don't panic! Children won't be coming home with missing limbs. All the equipment is safe and great fun to use. We first teach children the basic skills and techniques using foam swords and then when we are confident in their ability to follow instructions and play safely within the rules of the game, we then go on to level 2 and use the plastic swords and masks. Usually children aged 4-7years old will mainly use foam swords and masks and 8years+ will go on to use the plastic swords and masks once they have passed level one of our program. Fencing is an Olympic Sport and provides children with the opportunity to develop and improve coordination, balance, reaction time and self esteem. It is a strategic sport and players have to think a few moves ahead of time. A game like chess we like to think. |
