Kid's Fencing Foils - Not Just for Kids

How do you get your kids into fencing without buying all of the gear - jacket, mask, pants, glove, foils, etc?

We've got these great training foils that are made from extremely durable plastic and also specially made training masks that are far lighter than a standard fencing mask.

Some Tips on Using the Nasycon Plastic Foils 

Concentrate on games that introduce the ideas of fencing, and develop the proper muscle groups.

Do some fencing movements in a "simon says" format.

Fence with the plastic foils using masks on a small strip taped off on the floor - the matches are kept short and there is a lot of rotation.

Keep it fun - otherwise the drop out rate at the age level is near 100%

Fencing With Plastic Foils 

Stress relief for the office...

We took a few minutes to go outside of the Fencing.Net offices and fence with the Aramis plastic training foils and masks. Lots of youth programs use these and we're also starting up corporate team building programs with them.

Some More Ideas for Fencing Fun with the Aramis Foils 

  • Keep track of good behavior points ("Chivalry Points" or "Valor Points") - awards to the kids with the most points.
  • One Hit Ladder: Find a partner and faces off so you have two rows of opponents facing one another. The object is to hit once. Once all bouts are done, rotate.
  • Melee: Line up two teams and anyone can hit an opponent on the other team. This encourages teamwork as two teammates can "partner" with one parrying and protecting and the other hitting opponents. There's lots of excitement when one side has only one fencer left.
