Activity Review

Imane Laroussi (Left) The fencing activity was overall a really great experience. However, the start of the session felt quite long. Between the warm-up, the reflex exercise and the Dutch ball game. Despite this, even those parts were enjoyable and we had some fun. And finally, the best part began. The practice of our sword strikes by hitting the mannequin was really helpful for us to catch the right movement. And out little duels were so much fun and felt like such an accomplishment after the 3 hours of practice. So after all, we had such a great time. It gave all of us the opportunity to discover fencing, a sport that none of us had ever tried before. And for some, it even made them get a potential new passion. The activity left a positive impression on everyone involved, thank you for this ! |

Daphné Francine T. Raes (Right) We started with a series of dynamic exercises for an engaging and energetic start. We ended the warming up with a funny ball game. we transitioned into practicing the core movements and positions of fencing. This part was crucial as it reinforced our technique and form. Next, we moved on to training with the mannequins, which was an excellent way to apply what we had learned. The highlight of the day was definitely the one-on-one battles. We put our skills to the test, practicing our newly learned techniques. |
