"Fencing is like chess at 100 m.p.h."--Instructor Mike Anson

Fencing is one of the most exhilarating and challenging personal sports. Offense and defense are alternated
many times inside split seconds. Height, gender, age, and size are not limiting factors to becoming a good fencer. People who are short, use it to their advantage to attack underneath an opponent's guard. Left-handers enjoy just over 50% of the world's championship titles. What is required to compete in fencing, is a quick mind, rapid reflexes, and flexibility. Extensive stretching and repetitive drills are part of the regimen, but the rewards in one's improved health and mental agility are astounding.

This is an attacker's view of an opponent parrying "8" too late.
