We had an incredible time introducing fencing to a new group of young athletes from the City of Boston at the Mildred Community Center! ⚔️

For many of these kids, this was the first time hearing and even trying fencing! We are proud that they showed great enthusiasm, focus and courage at trying something new! From learning basic footwork to practicing their first touches it was amazing to see their confidence grow in just one group lesson.

At the International Fencing Club, we believe fencing is for everyone, and we are proud to help make the sport more accessible to our community. A huge thank you to the staff at Mildred Community Center for welcoming us and helping us make this experience possible.

We can’t wait to come back and continue building skills, friendships, and a love for fencing!
