As times progressed, so too did fencing, until it evolved into the refined and focussed art that it has become today. A highly tactical sport, fencing will not only challenge you physically, but mentally as well. Modern fencing is an extremely safe sport, bound by rules that have grown with the art over many years. https://fencingcentral.org.nz/about/our-people/ Mon, 05 Apr 2021 08:21:56 +0000 https://fencingcentral.org.nz/about/our-people/ Management Committee The Fencing Central Management Committee is elected at the annual general meeting, typically held in February.
