Home is the first place, school the second. Why every child needs a third one - and how to tell whether an activity has actually become one.

What helps at each point in a fencer's journey - from the first trial class to national selection, and what to do when they want to stop.

Meta description: What minor injuries in fencing actually look like, why they're usually nothing to worry about, where we draw the line — and exactly how to reach us if you have a question. Every so often, a child walks out of the club with a red mark on the forearm, a scraped knee, or a bruise blooming on a shin. And every so often, a parent's stomach drops a little.
