Fencing... fastest sport in the world!
Fencing is called "physical chess" because of the strategy and mental agility required to outwit ones opponent. Instead of using a chess piece, the fencer uses his weapon, his mind and body to gain the upper hand over his opponent.
Learning How to Fence
Fencing at CACC is taught by US Fencing Coaches Association certified coaches who has passed rigorous written and practical examinations. The USFCA certified coach is a professional member of USA Fencing. Class participation requires USA Fencing noncompetitive membership ($10 per season).
The Fencing Class
