Fencing is a specialized sport with many fine, precise movements that require attention to positive practice methods and good technique. Individual lessons are the best way to refine technique and build on instruction from group lessons. Weekly lessons can drastically increase the application of fencing skills that quickly turn into increased joy of fencing participation.
There is no correct order or time in which to begin participation in lessons, tournaments or open bouting. Much depends on the age and interest level of the fencer, family budget, and competitive desires.
Benefits of starting individual lessons include:
- one-on-one attention of coach
- scheduling flexibility
- rapid growth in new skills
- increase in self awareness
- increase in focus/attention span
- increase in joy of participation
When an athlete decides to train as a competitor, the benefits of taking regular lessons, alongside competing and regular training classes, can include:
- feelings of great accomplishment
- feeling of being connected to something greater than one’s self
- increase in self-esteem
- increase in ability to connect to a greater world (ex. NCAA school recruitment, national and international travel)
- greater understanding of how to problem-solve
- increase in time management skills
