Give yourself enough time to learn techniques and tactics. 2. Join a competitive club. You wouldn't expect your child to transition from a recreational league to a NCAA college team in basketball. Odds are it won't happen in fencing either. You need a club with solid coaching that is open 6 days a week for classes and open fencing. 3. Practice. What you put into the sport is what you get out of it. 4. Compete. Competition is a learned skill. Tournaments are held for children by age group. Start small and local, and build your way up to National level competitions. |
