Why is fencing cold in China?

Fencing is one of the sword sports. Athletes compete on a rectangular field with a slender elastic steel sword in one hand, a mask on the head, and regulation clothing. The winner is determined by a set time and the number of stabs (chops) made.

Fencing is a traditional sport with a long history. As early as in ancient times, the sword is the survival of mankind with wild animals to fight and hunt for food used tools. With the development of human history, the sword from the initial stone, bone system to bronze, iron, and finally to steel, and as a weapon of war, gradually on the stage of history.

Fencing is not only a sport to exercise physical fitness and self-defense skills.

However, fencing is still a cold sport in China and lacks a mass base. The current situation of fencing in China is that a few star athletes, burying their heads in the sand, are forced to bite the bullet. That is, the mass base is relatively poor, no more people to pay attention to, so, in the reserve talent training still can not keep up. China's participatory fencing is still in its infancy, so we believe that fencing training will have a high growth rate in the next few years, while the simple membership for the short term can not become the main source of income for fencing clubs. In the future, we hope that fencing will become a real advantageous sport in China, and that it will be able to win gold medals at the Olympic Games, and that more young people will choose fencing as a lifelong sport.
