USFA supports well-rounded youth!
Today, the United States Fencing Association release news about their new Academic All-American program. This program is designed to recognize high school fencers who strive for excellence on and off the strip.
This falls in-line with the mission & motto of En Garde! Detroit. We applaud the national leadership for their commitment to youth development.
“Encouraging a high level of academic achievement in our young athletes is as important as encouraging their athletic achievement.” – USFA

A Tribute to a great sport.
Greetings,
Every once in a while I get asked, “what is Fencing?” To which I would have to reply:
Discipline.
Focus.
Determination.
Class.
Style.
Energy.
We will be creating a video to illustrate this the EGD way, but until then.

Even President Obama Fences!
Greetings,
Thought we would share with you some recent media footage of President Obama, showing his support for the U.S.A to host the next Olympics.
Coincidentally, he happened to be a fan of fencing!
So members of the Olympic fencing team gave him a demonstration.
Check out the link below to watch the footage.
