Swords,
dueling, Zorro, Musketeers, Olympic fencing…..People have been
fascinated with swords for centuries. Today the modern sport of
fencing, which can trace it’s roots back thousands of years, is a
far cry from the fields of mortal combat. The popularity of the
sport, centered around foils, epees, and sabres, is growing by leaps
and bounds in the United States. Children as young as 6 and as old
as 76 are discovering the fun, the challenge, the excitement, and
the rewards of the sport of fencing.
Here in Greensboro, NC, the Delta H Fencers make this sport
assessable to all through our competitive sports club. We have been
co-sponsored by the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department for a
number of years. This affiliation makes it possible for us to offer
the public a variety of classes, seminars, tournaments, and camps.
Our
coaches, have worked with
Ron Miller, the fencing master at UNC to gain their expertise in
teaching. This allows us to offer group and individual instruction
in foil, epee, and sabre.
Over the years, we have seen that fencing is a great family
activity. Parents and their kids can play together at club and many
times compete in the same tournaments. Age should not be a factor
that prevents you from enjoying our sport.
