Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? He began fencing at age 10.

Why this sport? His father and his older brother both competed in fencing, so he naturally followed them into the sport. "I first swam and then played tennis for four years - it was a huge passion. At the time my dad was fencing and my brother Andras had already begun. I was very impressed with the cups and medals that were brought home. There was no particular urge to get involved in the sport, but at age 10 I just took it up and it stuck with me."

The brothers' father, Istvan Decsi, founded the Kertvaros Fencing SE club in 2008 in Hungary, where both brothers have coached. Tamas has worn his hair in a ponytail as a tribute to his father, who also fenced in a ponytail, and has said that he does not feel pressure due to his family's involvement in the sport. "There is no extra pressure at all, on the contrary it [working with family] offers a lot of positive elements to build into my fencing."
