How You Train Matters
Fencing requires a combination of movement patterns that need to be trained systematically to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Every HEMAFit class helps fencers develop all four domains:
Strength: Strength training builds the foundation for stability and control, allowing fencers to generate force efficiently in lunges, recoveries, and blade interactions.
Aerobic Conditioning: Historical fencers must both deliver at high intensity in short bursts and also sustain effort over many hours at multiday events. As a sport with complex demands, training must include a blend of both lower-intensity cardio and high-intensity intervals.
Explosive Power: The ability to accelerate, change direction, and execute powerful lunges, ripostes, and retreats is essential. Training this system includes plyometrics, speed drills, and reaction-based exercises to enhance rapid force production.
Mobility-Stability: Optimal movement requires a balance between mobility (range of motion) and stability (control). Things in this domain include drills for shoulder health, hip flexibility, and core stability to support efficient, injury-free movement.
HEMAFit is specifically designed to address all four domains, giving fencers a well-rounded conditioning routine that translates directly to improved performance in the ring.
