FENCING - an exciting activity to train sharp minds and instant reflexes, a sport of strategy, tactics, and psychology, dubbed physical chess. Success in fencing is not based on size, strength, or speed alone. Victory goes to the smartest, sharpest, and most determined fencer. While technically a martial art, it is one of the safest modern sports with injury rates below those of golf, tennis, and rowing, according to the National Athletic Trainers Association. 

​

THE SPORT OF FENCING is suitable for all ages. Each year, the U.S. Fencing Association (USFA) sponsors numerous competitions for Youth 10, Youth 12, Youth 14, Cadet, Junior, Senior, and Veterans age categories.  Fencers of all ages also have an opportunity to represent their own country at international competitions.  

​

FENCING can be a path to the college of your dreams. Over 40 leading colleges and universities, to include every Ivy League school, Stanford, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point have Division I, II, and III NCAA fencing programs. Statistics show that around 32% of young fencers move on to participate in NCAA collegiate varsity teams. Compare that to 5.9% for basketball  and  7% for football.  Whether you decide to devote yourself to competitive or recreational fencing, Invicta Sports is the right place to start.
