This is the main free fencing program in a New York City public grade school and it's showing 9-, 10-and 11-year-olds to concentration and concentrate. "Fencing is a game that brings value," said Amy Turchiaro, the school therapist. "Youngsters who go to state funded schools never had this open door and presently they do and they love it."

Turchiaro is herself a fencer and endeavored to get a $10,000 award from Signature Bank to carry proficient mentors to show grade school understudies each Friday early evening time beginning in February.

"Fencing is a decent game, serious as well as it's key," said Huey Tan, senior VP at Signature Bank. "It assists individuals with thinking and plan."

Fencing has been around since ancient times and has been a mid year Olympic game beginning around 1896. PS 340's chief has huge dreams for these little fencers. "There are numerous universities that are giving fencing grants, the Ivy League, Harvard and Cornell," said Principal Alexei Nichols. "On the off chance that we can sow the seed here for a considerable lot of our understudies from center school, school and vocation start here."

3rd grade understudy Muhammad Adnan told PIX11 News the best way to repel, while two different stars of the program are longing for the Olympics. 5th grade understudy Donik Cosovic depicted what he cherishes about the game. "The development, the position, how to go after your adversary and square your rival," Cosovic said.

4th grade understudy Yamika Padron made sense of what she cherishes. "I like how the mentors are severe and it causes you to feel sure. It gives me inspiration," she said.

There is colossal interest in this program at PS 340. There were in excess of 200 candidates for just 20 spots. School authorities are expecting to develop the fencing program one year from now.

Paving the way to 1976, the fencing crew had been gathering speed, completing third in the country in the past season. Mentor Mike DeCicco saw that Notre Dame was not known for its fencing custom, until it facilitated the NCAA titles in 1970.
