“
There are no words to describe how fortunate I feel to have been a part of Dynamo Fencing since I was 8 years old. This club and the coaches made me passionate about fencing, and that passion shaped me into the person that I am today.
​
Fencing has given me friends and experiences that I’ll never forget, it’s given me the work ethic to accomplish anything that I set my mind to, and it’s given me numerous opportunities that I wouldn’t have had if not for Fencing.
