Fencing prep course for kids
Movement, games, and first steps — or rather, first fencing moves — toward fencing.
Goal: movement, joy, and first steps in fencing
The fencing prep course for kids focuses on well-rounded physical development, coordination, and building a positive relationship with sport. Training sessions take a playful and safe form adapted to the children's age.
The goal of the prep course isn't fencing alone, but above all:
- developing movement abilities,
- coordination and balance,
- working in pairs and respecting others,
- focus and discipline,
- the joy of movement.
Children gradually get to know the basics of fencing through games, exercises, and simple techniques with safe equipment.
