Late last summer several people pointed out that there is a fencing school here in Grand Rapids, and that they were offering a Groupon. I immediately signed up both kids for the Groupon. Here’s a video of them on their second night:
They love it desperately, but it’s mighty expensive, so we’re working with them on value. They want to keep doing it like crazy, but they don’t want to give up their allowance for it. Lots of thinking going on.
Wehn I was at U-M they had a fencing squad. Something to keep in mind. http://www.scholarships.com/financial-aid/college-scholarships/sports-scholarships/fencing-scholarships/
