Description

The latest word in fitness is "En Garde!". Fencing, also know as "Physical Chess", is not just exercise for the body but the mind as well. It is a tactical masterpiece of grace and prowess that takes one back through the annals of history. Is is one of only four sports that has been in every modern Olympic games and a popular sport at many Universities. Exciting for men and women, boys and girls, it is an individual sport which can be very entertaining even without any special talent. If the student has enthusiam and patience, we will teach the fencer how to develop the skill. While fencing has been gaining in popularity and many clubs exist in other areas, the Atlantic Fencing Club brings recreational and competitive fencing to Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Swordfighting as sport has existed since ancient Egypt, and has been practiced in many forms in various cultures since then. Although jousting and tournament combat was a popular sport in the European middle ages, modern fencing owes more to unarmoured duelling forms that evolved from 16th century rapier combat. The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a six-feet-by-40-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.
