Fencing is a sport.  Born in the days of blood combat, it is now a sport with rules, scoring methods, and special equipment. 

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-feet by 44-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically – a lot more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.

We've all seen, heck we all do it.  After a long day of grinding out projects or tasks at work we often end up sitting in front of the "boob tube" or hopping on the computer to surf the net or play a few minutes (right) of World of Warcraft of some other game.

It is especially easy for children to get caught up in sitting in front of the TV or playing computer or console games.  For some, it may seem like a struggle to tear your child away from the technology that is so available and ready for them.  If you want to make sure your child is receiving a well-rounded childhood, and setting the pattern for future good health habits, then getting them to play sports is something you should do.
