"Fencing is the thrilling sound of steel meeting steel. It is the sweet taste of victory and the personal growth accompanying both victory and defeat. Become involved in fencing--it will help you acquire the reflexes of a boxer, the legs of a high jumper, and the concentration of a tournament chess player. The sport develops your agility, strength, speed, and cunning. Because it is action-packed, it is known as the fastest martial art. But the best thing about fencing is- IT'S FUN!"
