Why do you need Fencing Insurance?
Common fencing injuries include bruises, injuries to the hand and wrist, sprained ankles and knee problems. Fencers often have one arm and one leg with more muscle than the other, as their stance involves leading with one side of the body. It is important to train the other side of the body in order to improve balance and muscle movement.
