Fencing as related to Boxing


Recommended Posts

Does anyone here fence? I've heard that it's similar to boxing and I wanted to try it out and see if it could complement my training.

Is it worth the time away from boxing?

Fendcing is great fun, Back in boxings beginnings (Broughton rules) it was based on fencing, taught by fencers.

It may give you some new ideas about the jab, as essentially that is what it is all about. Footwork is quite different as it is all forward and back, but it definately won't hurt you... well maybe a little, but it will be a good hurt :)
