Fencing and the California State Standards

Fencing is specifically mentioned in the California Physical Education Frameworks as an appropriate sport for students. It is considered one of the “combative” sports.

Fencing also meets 6th-8th grade History and Social Studies standards by providing a glimpse into the evolution of the sport during the Renaissance, allowing students to trace its evolution during that time period.

Language Arts lessons about the classics also come alive as students are able to immerse themselves in the sport that that they are reading about. Fencing brings Shakespeare and other classics to life!
