FENCING IS THE WAY
Join me on a mission to spread awareness, increase participation, and improve access to the incredible sport of fencing!
WHY “FENCING IS THE WAY” ?
The name of my initiative, "Fencing is the Way," is a nod to the Mandalorian mantra: "This is the Way." Ive used this line countless times, whether it be convincing my parents take me to fencing practice when I has mounds of homework or asking them if I could stay late after practice. Over time, this slogan stuck, building discipline, resilience, and patience.
And I believe that for me, fencing has truly been the way.
MY MISSION
Through Fencing is the Way, I hope to spread awareness, increase participation, and improve access to fencing.

AWARENESS
Fencing is an uncommon sport, which is not usually televised, and so several people have not heard about it. At times, it is pictured as dangerous medieval sword-fighting in movies, so people miss out on trying it! The benefits of fencing and some cool facts can be found on the Resources and About Me pages.
-
PARTICIPATION
Most students begin playing sports such as volleyball or soccer in early childhood. This long training ensures they are already skilled and successful when they reach varsity level sports. I believe that introducing children and parents to the sport of fencing at a young age can create committed, competitive fencers.

ACCESS
Accessibility is key in any sport to ensure the best and most passionate players representing the fabric of our society can play the sport of their choice. Unfortunately, this sport does not lend itself to neighborhood parks, or local courts, but requires specialized clubs with memberships and coaching fees and a lot of equipment – all of which are obstacles for those who are just looking to try the sport. I believe that children of all backgrounds should have the opportunity to try out fencing.
