Is it worthwhile for children to learn fencing?

As the saying goes, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their eyes. Every parent has different expectations for their children to learn fencing lessons. What do parents want first? !

According to Bian Xiao, there are about three types of parents who sign up for fencing now: the first type is purely interested in physical health, and children like this sport. Parents just want to let their children keep fit and improve their functions in all aspects by "playing fencing"; The second type of professional reserve, children's physical fitness is good, parents hope that their children can go further on the basis of playing, and if all conditions permit, they will consider engaging in this profession in the future; The third utilitarian type, by practicing fencing, increases the chips for studying abroad and further study. Because fencing is a traditional sport in American Ivy League universities, many students and parents have found a new way to use fencing as a "springboard" to study in the United States. Fortunately, according to reliable sources in the industry, the first type of parents now account for more than 70%, so Bian Xiao will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of fencing in fitness.

Now, what physical conditions are more suitable for fencing?

In fact, the conditions are really not "harsh"! It means "slender limbs, well-proportioned body, long and straight arms and legs, long calves and relatively short thighs, finger spacing greater than height, long and clear achilles tendon, high arch, quick response and action, good flexibility, explosive power, concentration and emotional stability." If your child has the following characteristics, as a parent, don't bury his fencing talent, you can consider professional training ~ ~

For the third kind of parents with utilitarian psychology, Bian Xiang Xiao tells you that if you are not so "utilitarian", maybe fencing will bring more gains to children. Through online articles, we can see that many children become lonely and uncomfortable after going abroad, unable to make friends for a long time, and become very introverted for a while. In Europe and America, fencing can help children make friends more easily and expand their life circle. If you put learning fencing in this expected position, I believe the return will be very rich.

Let's follow Bian Xiao and learn the basic knowledge of fencing first.

Fencing is a kind of one-on-one fighting sport, which is highly technical, complicated in hand movements, fast and frequent in footwork and fast in attack and defense conversion. It requires students to complete a series of offensive and defensive actions based on strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, endurance and other sports qualities in fast, complex and changeable fierce fighting.

The following details the advantages of fencing:

1, fencing is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, moving back and forth belongs to aerobic exercise, and attacking moment belongs to anaerobic exercise. Compared with other sports, the exercise is less and more suitable for children, and this sport can accompany children for life. Bian Xiao saw the 70-year-old grandfather still playing fencing. Moreover, fencing is very safe in all sports. There is a metal helmet, thick sportswear protection, and the sword head is flat, so there are not many opportunities for injury in sports.

2. In fact, all sports can cultivate children's perseverance, and fencing culture is mainly reflected in chivalry. Nowadays, children have excellent family conditions, most of them are only children, and they usually lack the spirit of independence. However, the future they face will be a more competitive society. Fencing can cultivate children's courage, courage and etiquette, which is the most lacking part for domestic children at present. One-on-one fencing competition can help children build confidence and mind to face difficulties and challenges independently.

There are many stretching movements in fencing. Long-term training can help children enhance their flexibility. Maybe many parents don't understand. Bian Xiao tells you in a simple and rude way that it is not easy to get hurt, especially muscle strain, and the probability of tripping, falling and spraining in daily life is much lower than that of ordinary people. )

4. Compared with all kinds of ball games and track and field sports, the rhythm of fencing changes more. Long-term practice of fencing will strengthen physical control, physical coordination, patience, nerve reflexivity and pressure resistance, which will also help children's cardiopulmonary function.

If children can start practicing fencing when they are seven or eight years old, it is definitely a good way to relieve the pressure for students who have mastered a certain foundation and can enjoy fencing by themselves-high concentration and high antagonism. After playing a game with their friends, Zhang Chi got a very rich spiritual supply and exercise both mentally and physically, especially the sense of accomplishment when he hit it successfully, which is no less than playing video games but much better than playing games.

6. It is helpful for the development of intelligence, because in the process of practice, it can establish a good comprehensive display of right brain functions such as spatial perception, experience and type recognition, and improve image thinking and creativity. Specifically, in the process of fighting, both sides need to constantly observe and think. Within the distance of entering the confrontation and within a limited time, using fast and accurate conclusions to guide their actions can promote the rapid adaptability of trainers. . . Many parents who have learned fencing report that their children's concentration has improved a lot after learning fencing. But it is not omnipotent, for example: 1, fencing is a single event, and there is no chance for multi-person cooperation. Therefore, it is recommended that children try other team sports, and fencing really cannot provide more growth opportunities and space in this respect. Although fencing also has team events, this group is quite different from team events such as foot, basketball and volleyball. ) 2. The sport feature of fencing is unilateral, with little change in leg movements. At what age is it better to start fencing?

Bian Xiao just gave an answer based on theory+practical experience+reliable people in the industry. It is best to start from the age of 6 -8! Because children of this age develop rapidly in physical coordination and flexibility, and their attention, memory, thinking ability and behavior control ability are obviously improved, which provides good conditions for learning fencing.

By the way, when choosing a fencing club for children, it is recommended to visit more, talk to the coach and see their style. The right coach has a great influence on children.

In a word, fencing can cultivate people's various sports qualities and physical temperament, and exercise agile and flexible thinking, improvisation ability and various psychological qualities to overcome difficulties. This is a great single competitive sport and a good choice for teenagers' hobbies. However, after all, every child is different, and the situation of every family is different. I only hope that more parents can think more independently when choosing, first think clearly about what they want, whether fencing can help you achieve your goal, and then make careful decisions for your children without regret.
