All fencers and guests (over the age of two) are required to wear a minimum two-layer mask while in the club. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Dagmara "Daga" Wozniak is an American saber fencer. Wozniak was named to the U.S. Olympic team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in women's saber competition as a substitute and as a competitor at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.
As of the summer of 2016, she was ranked as one of the top 10 saber fencers in the world.

The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage.
Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a 6-ft by 40-ft fencing strip.
The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.
Foil, epee and saber are the three weapons used in the sport of fencing.
While it is not unusual for fencers to compete in all three events, they generally choose to develop their skills in one weapon.

They all love Fencing!
Zuckerberg was captain of his college team, and the latter three all fence together with Tom Cruise leading the instruction.
Many successful people out of the limelight enjoy the lifelong sport of Fencing as well.
We've found many of our students come from debate club, Model UN, chess club, kids in band, taking music, and robotics clubs.
Fencing is excellent for honing concentration, precision, confidence, tactics, speed, flexibility, balance, dedication, and the ability to win and lose gracefully.

The sport is great to start as a kid, but it's also great to start as an adult.
Unlike many other sports, fencers can be competitive for much longer than some other big-name sports.
This article will go over some basic things you need to know before getting started: the weapons, the equipment, and what to wear to your class.
Sometimes, fencers compete in all three events, but a fencer will generally develop their skills in one weapon.
Points are scored when the tip comes into contact with the opponent from a thrusting motion.

I started as an elective in college.
Later, after I had kids, I realized there was an adult league, which reignited my competitiveness.
I broke my leg, and I couldn't play soccer anymore, so I fell in love with it when I started fencing for recovery.
When you start, it's simple, but as you learn more, it becomes difficult to predict what your opponent is going to do.
But learning that is also fun and rewarding.
I thought it was cool to compete and sword fight against other people without getting yelled at.
