Yes, of course! About 10% of our fencers are adults with jobs, families, lives, etc. Most are beginners. We put most new adults into our saber program because the other students there tend to be taller (randomly, not by intention). This sport will get you into great shape fast!

Most scores hurt as much as a finger flick. It is possible to get bruised on your arms or legs if you don't block (parry) your opponents attack.

Of the top 100 sports with injuries in the US, boxing being number 1, fencing ranks below badminton around 80'th place. It is by far the safest martial art.

Compared with other competitive sports, fencing is extremely safe and serious injuries are quite rare. The weapons utilized in the sport are blunted, the uniforms are well protected and there is a minimum of contact, jumping, twisting or high impact moves. At the same time, this sport provides important benefits that will help your child grow with confidence, discipline, quick-thinking and respect.

At Las Vegas Fencing Academy, we are very strict about enforcing the best safety habits and technique, so that it becomes automatic. We also mandate use of full equipment during sparring matches including plastic chest plates, arm protectors, gloves, protective socks and masks.
