Well done to Hannah for representing @britishfencing at the first @eurofencing U14 European Youth Festival in Budapest. A tricky poule + close DE gave way to a 40th place finish. Not the result she wanted but lots gained from the experience & challenge of an international comp 🤺

Well done to William today at the @tmfc_fencing Manchester BRC Sabre event. He won his L32 match and then could not get past his L16 opponent, who was the eventual silver medalist. Some very well fought points were earned and experience gained 👏🏻 #sabrefencing

Love fencing.. 🥰🥰 I could be wrong but it felt to me that fencing is more of training your mental strength and of learning that stillness requires more energy & power than moving louder. Victory is more of understanding the importance of the smallest moves with precision.. 🐧🐧
