Fencing offers lifelong opportunities that are not available with most other activities. RFA fencers dramatically highlighted this in the first two weekends of May '11 by medaling in competitions that covered three different age ranges. Starting with the youngest -- JD won a youth 12 &; under foil competition hosted at RFA. In the regular Adult age range, Don medaled at the Mid Atlantic Sectionals (a regional event for adult level fencers). In a Vet. Combined (for fencers over 40) event Levente, Olivier & Steve medaled in foil while Garik &; Keith medaled in Saber. So whether you are interested in fencing for fun and exercise or you wish to compete in age categories anywhere from under 10 to over 70 years old, Fencing & RFA can meet your needs.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments or requests.
