Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? He took up fencing in 2010.
Why this sport? "I started fencing with the aim of wanting to be like a 'knight in shining armour' as I liked riding horses and sword fighting. However, all that changed when I started being interested only in fencing and the teachings that come with it. I really enjoy the sport as it can be challenging mentally and physically."
