Why Sport?
Character is revealed by sport.  Sport can develop character.  When adversity looms, whether within a match or within life, those who triumph, usually do so because of more than simple talent.  Our goal is to instill upon our athletes, the recognition that honor, determination and commitment build character, a central component to achievement, both on the piste and off.  
(Paraphrased form Christopher Ramsey, CEO, USA Water Polo
 
Why Fencing?
Fencing is an elegant, prestigious and traditional sport which reflects the success qualities that are important to contemporary people who seek a challenge to both body and mind through a competitive blend of patience and determination, discipline and competitiveness. Part of a Healthy Lifestyle / Exercise for the Mind and Body.

exerpts from A STUDY OF PERCEPTIONS:

"Training as a fencer teaches a person a number of characteristics associated with the qualities of successful people."

"suc-cess" - a process of the way one conducts their life, embodying attitudes and beliefs about oneself, their life pursuits and their ways of relating to others.

This thesis will attempt to prove that the qualities we use to be successful in fencing are the same as in life.  You need to be honorable, dedicated, persevering, intelligent, and able to think on your feet. 

In fencing you need to use a blend of all these things at once to become successful ... in life, these aspects apply in business, schoolwork, and day-to-day life, and will help you to achieve greater success in all of them...

It has been determined, through the course of this thesis, that training in the sport of fencing may be a positive contributing factor in the development of the character traits and attributes of successful people...

experts... believe there is a direct correlation between the qualities of successful fencers and success qualities in general, and... fencing training in general enhances the development of these qualities.

recreational fencers and the parents of youth fencers ... overwhelmingly believe that gains were made, in relatively short periods of time, in almost all of the attributes of success that were presented to them...
