Strength and Conditioning training

[Craig]

Stumbled on this article from April '07 that may be of interest to readers here:

This article will present an overview of the training methods I have used, and am currently using, with an elite youth fencer. Fencing is a sport that draws has roots from medieval European swordsmanship. Divided into three weapons; foil, epee and sabre, each weapon has distinct rules of engagement. Foil is probably the most well known weapon and is the category that my fencers have always competed in. Needless to say I personally would not make many changes in my training approach to the other weapons regardless of the differences.

Good post Craig. The agility work and warmup are very Core Performance. The Strength and conditioning work are in a similar vein to Crossfit and Ross Training. All good stuff
