We are Fortune Fencing.
Fencing is a modern and athletic sport. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - a lot more like Star Wars than Zorro.
Fencing is a fast and athletic sport, a far cry from the choreographed fights you see in the movies or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense pas de deux on a 6-feet by 44-feet strip.
Here's a quick guide about fencing:
1Is fencing a safe sport?
Fencing is a very safe sport with one of the lowest injury rates of any martial arts. This is because the protective gear and weapons are designed to protect the athlete from harm.
2What is the age limit to learn how to fence?
Fencing is a wonderful sport for all ages. Beginning fencers should be at least seven years old, but fencing isn't just a youth sport at Fortune Fencing there are adult classes for veteran fencers as well as adult recreational fencers.
3What is proper clothing to wear to a class?
New students should wear a T-shirt, long pants like sweat pants or athletic warm-ups, and lace up athletic shoes. Please bring a water bottle. For health reasons fencers will be required to own their own fencing uniforms. The minimum necessary equipment is a fencing mask, fencing glove, jacket and under arm protector.
