Fencing Academy
Fencing is one of the core Olympic sports, included in the program of the first Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens.
This impressive sport has been gaining popularity in Thessaloniki in recent years as an alternative form of exercise.
Fencing develops both physical and mental characteristics in athletes. Physically, it enhances overall fitness, particularly improving reaction speed, balance, and coordination. Despite fostering combativeness, it is a noble sport with no physical contact, making it safe. Mentally, it promotes sportsmanship, respect, self-discipline, and self-control. It also improves attention, concentration, and learning memory.
YMCA Thessaloniki is a historic club in the heart of Thessaloniki with excellent facilities for all Olympic sports. In this spirit, the development of our fencing academy is a major priority. Over the years, the fencing department of YMCA Thessaloniki has evolved and established a notable school for learning and practicing fencing, with proper organization and esteemed coaches.
For boys and girls aged 6 and up
