Purpose and Opportunity

Olympic sport fencing is especially helpful for youth fencers by strengthening their social life as they gain confidence throughout every session.

They also can have the opportunity to join the AFT (Australian Fencing Team) and become a QFA (Queensland Fencing Association) member. Through AIS (Australia institute of sport) camps you can have several opportunities to perform at national and international competitions at the higher level. You can also gain scholarships to various high schools or Universities based on your competition results.

• Enhances sense of balance

  Fencers must keep a sense of balance at all time under fast moving circumstances.

• Exercises the whole body

  You can achieve a well-balanced body by keeping a straight posture throughout the session, which requires a high level of strength. Fencing helps strengthen your upper and lower body muscles, as it demands a high level of endurance.

• Social skills

  Fencing is a sport that includes sportsmanship, which helps to build an athlete’s character.

• Enhancing agility

  Making quick decisions with your mind and body, fencers need to maintain consistent agility.

• Mental strength

  To read and react to your opponent’s decisions, fencing can be very similar to a game of chess.
