Loads! It's a perfect way to stay in shape, fantastic stress buster, intense cardiovascular and full body work out. Fencing has excellent results on the thighs, buttocks and stomach (good for all those ladies out there who want to tone up!). Athletically, fencing can improve your speed, agility, flexibility, balance, reflexes and co-ordination. On the mental side apart from having a good bash at someone - which is excellent for stress, fencing can also improve focus, concentration, decision making and hone strategic skills. Fencing burns more calories than most other fitness regimes especially the boring, repetitive, solitary ones! Fencing is most certainly not boring!
