Fencing has long been a popular sport, with its roots in ancient times. But it has been enjoying a resurgence in the United States in the past decade. This is thanks in large part to the success of Mariel Zagunis and Sada Jacobson who medaled at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This paved the way for the US Fencing Team to win numerous medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games. Even President Obama was so inspired by the team’s success that he chose to fence with one of the US Olympians, Tim Morehouse, at the White House. Now, fencing is an international sport with participants competing from countries such as France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia. 

Olympic fencing is a unique sport that brings the modern world together with traditional combat. Its popularity has grown significantly in the United States in recent years, largely due to the outstanding performances of Mariel Zagunis and Sada Jacobson at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This success paved the way for the US Fencing Team to win a number of medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games. President Obama was so impressed that he wanted to experience fencing first hand, so he invited one of the US Olympians, Tim Morehouse, to the White House to fence with him. Today, fencing is enjoyed by athletes from all around the world, including countries such as France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia.

We adore the avant-garde! The staff and coaches are like family to me. On a flash sale website, I purchased my son a one-month starter package. In a few years, he will be competing in the Junior Olympics.

Fencers, coaches, parents, family members, and friends make form a wonderful group. (A few animals, too. Everyone cooperates to help one another when at home or on the road. Win or lose, it was a fun time. Can't imagine being anywhere else.
