Vizualizing in fencingVisualizing is Important in Fencing! Using your sense of sight is crucial when it comes to fencing. Not just in terms of being awake on the strip and seeing what is happening while you are fencing, but in many other aspects as well.

Visualizing is an important technique used by athletes in many different sports. The process of visualizing is actually very relaxing. You close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Once you have a steady breath going, you picture yourself on the strip. You picture an opponent right in front of you. You can picture this situation in the setting of any level of competition.
