About the Program
The sport of sword fighting has existed since the time of ancient Egypt – but modern fencing is most closely related to
forms of dueling that evolved in the 16th century. It was one of the nine original sports contested at the modern
Olympics and is still and Olympic sport today. At NESA, we keep this heritage strong by offering a full fencing program
for beginners and intermediates. Classes are for children ages 8 and over. The NESA Fencing program is designed to teach
students the proper basics and skills of fencing. Fencing increases strength, flexibility, power, endurance, speed,
agility, hand/eye coordination and quickness. It is also a great cardio-pulmonary work-out.
The soccer teacher is phenomenal!!!! What a wonderful person and teacher! Thank you so much for arranging for him to teach here!
What has your experience been with NESA?
