Summer Nationals Is 12 Weeks Away. Is Your Fencer Physically Ready?

Their technique is dialed in. They've been drilling all season. Their fencing coach has done the work. But when the second DE hits and their legs are heavy, when their coordination breaks down under fatigue, when they pick up a nagging injury mid-tournament β€” that's not a technique problem. That's a physical preparation problem.

This challenge builds the qualities that keep your fencer performing at their best when it counts: coordination under fatigue, conditioning to last through a full day of competition, injury-resilient movement patterns, and explosive plyometric power. Each plan is customized around your fencer's current club schedule and training volume β€” we work with their routine, not against it.

What Your Fencer Gets

Everything is tailored to their age, ability, equipment access, and competitive goals.

πŸ“‹

Customized 6-Week Program

Two 45-minute sessions per week, built specifically for each athlete. Coordination, conditioning, injury prevention, and plyometrics β€” customized around their club schedule and current training volume so nothing conflicts.

Questions? Answers.

What if my child has never done S&C before?
That's fine. The program is customized for each athlete's experience level. Coach Edriss will start them where they are and build from there. Every exercise comes with video tutorials and form is reviewed throughout the challenge.
What equipment is needed?
Some free weights, resistance bands, and access to basic cardio equipment (treadmill, bike, rower, or just open space for running). A full gym is not required. We build the program around what your fencer has access to.
How is the winner chosen?
Every athlete who completes all challenge requirements β€” all sessions, all videos, all weekly stories β€” is entered into a random drawing. No subjective judging. Do the work and you're in.
My child is under Y12 β€” can they join?
This challenge is designed for athletes Y12 through Junior who are preparing for Summer Nationals. If your child is younger but has S&C experience, reach out and we can discuss whether it's a fit.
Can they still do their regular fencing training?
Absolutely β€” that's the point. Coach Edriss builds each program around your fencer's existing club schedule, lesson times, and training volume. We know they're already practicing multiple days a week. The two 45-minute S&C sessions are specifically placed to complement what their club coach is doing, not compete with it.
What happens after the 6 weeks?
The challenge ends in early June, giving your fencer 3 full weeks before the first Summer Nationals events on June 27. They'll arrive physically prepared and confident. If they want to continue training with Fencing Strength, we'll talk about ongoing coaching options β€” but there's no obligation. This is a one-time challenge.
