I work as a business analyst, probably the most boring job which is why I do fencing, because it’s a little more fun. I really enjoy the fencing. Something about it is “destressifying”. It’s very easy to come in, relax, and that’s probably the best part of it. It’s very easy to get into a groove, or mindset. As far as physical activity, I was already in pretty in shape; if anything, this has just made me more in shape.

Tulsa Fencing Club is just a great community, we are all kind of this eclectic group of individuals who enjoy outdated weaponry and enjoy stabbing one another. It’s a really fun community that is built on trust and friendship and fun and stabbing.

I had him in archery, and I thought it fulfilled a sense of adventure with him, so I offered him fencing and he’s excited about doing it. I thought it would be more like the martial arts and teach him how to be active and yet disciplined at learning something. He’s maturing and coming to class excited about being here and about knowing that it’s practice and you eventually develop the skills, so he’s more willing to work along those lines than he was previously. I’m very pleased with that. There’s a lot of camaraderie and encouragement no matter who the student is, and I see that coming across as I watch, so that’s an important element as well.

The best part of the club is how everyone’s very friendly during fencing. Even if you lost or if you won, either way it’s very friendly and they don’t get too competitive either way. My fencing goal is to master all the swords and to compete. My mom and dad support me because they say it’s great and will get me stronger, faster. It’s really fun to stab your friends.

My favorite part is the bouts because I get to stab my friends. I joined fencing to fence and get better at fencing my cousins, but none of them want to fence me now that I’m better than them.

It’s been my first time since I’ve been in a sport since I was really young. It’s been really challenging, and it’s been such a fun challenge. I’ve grown so much, I feel like I’ve just gotten better with just athletics in general, it’s helped my confidence too, I’ve just benefited so much from doing this. I love it way more than I ever thought I could have.

I fence with saber. I really enjoy saber, all of the different moves, elements, the bouts are fast. It incorporates from a sports standpoint agility and timing and those are just key elements. One of the things that I would share is that I feel like saber is a bit of physical chess. There’s a strategy element, a mental agility element and a physical agility element. I like how all that gets incorporated into the sport. It’s a sport that’s steeped in tradition. In so much of our culture and society these days, I think that some of those things are lost, and so I love the preservation of that.

I wanted to find something that challenged me not only mentally, but physically, and this has done it in spades. It is an opportunity to have some camaraderie with a different group of people than I’ve been exposed to in a really long time.

The coaches and staff have been excellent. I’ve really enjoyed watching both of my children learn under the coaches; they challenge them, but they always feel that they’re trying to make them a better person, and even in those challenges they always feel respected and cared for, and there’s just a fun atmosphere as well that I think the coaches provide.
