Fencing

Fencing is an Olympic combat sport that revolves around strategy, tactics, speed and reaction time. It is the art of “hitting without being hit” and therefore forces the fencer to be fast, smart and agile. Physically, a fencer must develop himself all-round; endurance, strength, explosiveness and flexibility are all equally important. In addition, you develop excellent hand-eye coordination, train your observation skills and willpower and resilience are also very important. Does all this appeal to you and do you want to outsmart your opponent in a fair fight? Then fencing is for you.

Fencing is a very healthy sport with rarely injuries and suitable for young and old. At La Rapière Everyone from 8 to 80 is welcome and we have a suitable program for everyone.
