International Fencing Club Malaysia

FENCING CLASS 

First post in 2017, sorry for really longgg did not update. Today I am going to talk about fencing. Before going to the class, I actually know nothing about fencing. I do not know about the origin, posture, outfit, rules and competition. I believe most of Malaysian have the same mind with me, because it is still not a popular sport like badminton or football. I am a person who love to challenge new stuffs, so when the opportunity comes I would immediately hold it.

I found a fencing club named International Fencing Club Malaysia (IFCM) in Sri Petaling. There are very less fencing clubs in Malaysia and luckily I found one near to my house. After I reached the studio, the scene impressed me, because I have never seen fencing strips and equipment before, everything is new to me. Then, the Coach, Yu, gave me a smiley greet and confirmed my appointment. He was an ex-Olympic fencer and have more than 10 years experience. He taught me the different way of stretching, it works better than the normal stretch. After that, he started to explain three different fencing events, which are epee, foil and sabre. Fencing origin from France, so there are a lot of France words would be used on competition.

After explanation, Coach Yu started to teach me about posture. Posture is the most important in fencing, thus body has to be flexible. Basically, the different between epee, foil and sabre are the marks counting, sword and outfit. He taught me one by one professionally and patiently, thus i strongly recommend people to learn from here. The course fee is RM250 unlimited per month. If you want to give a try, they have short course too, you may purchase in Groupon for RM58 x 1 sparring session or RM78 x 3 sparring session. It is really worth!
