Why fencing?
Fencing is unique in its capacity to engage and challenge a child. The sport encourages a union between physical and mental development. Students are challenged in ways that not only increase their flexibility and coordination, but also their ability to problem solve and overcome adversity. No two fencing bouts are ever the same.
Today we fence for the same reason that people play basketball or soccer, or any other sport. Fencing is fun, it's great exercise, and it is accessible to kids of all shapes and sizes. Good fencers train their body and mind to be focused, fast and efficient. Every movement is at once powerful and economical, decisive and unbelievably swift. Fencing is a sport with a beauty and grace all its own, and you'll never have more fun than with a sword in your hand.
Is Fencing Safe?
Fencing is very safe. We take care to follow the rules of the sport carefully and respect the weapon. We always wear safety gear and never play around when people without protection are nearby. Because of the above, fencing has one of the lowest rates of injury of any sport. If you do it right, fencing is not suppose to hurt. Most of all, fencing is fun! At Empire United Fencing we believe that everyone should have a chance to find their passion in life. Our passion is fencing, we hope yours will be too.
Our Mission
Empire United Fencing fosters the pursuit of personal excellence and enrichment for the student who has experienced the excitement of the strip for a few weeks or many years. We envision the development of Olympic champions, yet understand that the realization of each student's potential is the ultimate goal. One key to achieving this goal is a proactive relationship between the coaching staff and the parent.
Unique to our approach is the prioritization of physical, mental, and body awareness skills that promote lifelong discovery. In addition to the youth program, all adult and collegiate fencers will be welcomed as a valued member of the community, with programs tailored to their individual needs for continued progression.
