[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let them try both then decide. Both of my DCs ( a girl and a boy) tried and liked fencing, but DD just couldn’t manage the weight of the fencing sword due to weak wrists.[/quote] Is that fencing sword heavy? How much weight are we talking about with the protection suit, helmet, and sword ? My DD is light weight. [/quote] I've seen teeny little kids fencing. The weapon weight depends on the weapon--foil is the lightest, but our club starts kids with epee, which is a little heavier, but a child's epee is maybe a pound? The suit isn't that heavy -- it's like very thick cotton or polyblend. The helmet is mostly mesh. None of the kids seemed to have an issue with any of it. The biggest thing is that you get pretty sweaty, so light layers underneath are key.[/quote]
