Why Fencing? 
For 18 + year old1. Great work-out.... Tired of lifting weights and running treadmill to nowhere? Bored at the Gym? Fencing is your answer.

Fencing is really a great place to meet people and make friends. 3. Competitive edge. If you like to compete - you can start to compete in fencing at any age, even over 60... Fencing is like golf, there is no age in fencing, you can do it at any age. 4. COOL factor among your friends. Wait till you see your friend's reaction, when you tell them that you fence. 5. You get to try something unusual in life, something that only royalty and nobles could enjoy until the early 20th century For 13 - 18 year old1. Great scholarship opportunity... or at least a competitive edge for you to get into a college of your dreams. Fencing is an NCAA sport, just like football, tennis, soccer, and baseball.
