Culver Academies Fencing Camp June 12-16, 2010 We are proud of our tradition to offer fencing at the Culver Academies, educating mind body and spirit. Fencing is best described as Physical Chess at Speed. This requires… agility, strength, endurance, focus, strategy and discipline. There are three weapons, Epée, Saber and Foil, each with their own personality. Timing and distance are key elements of fencing. The most fundamental skill is footwork, consisting of advance, retreat and lunge. The sport began approximately in 1856 and is now one of the most exciting and most challenging elite sports. Touchè!
