This years London Olympics showcased some of the best fencing in years. The images created a buzz throughout the world and spread new interest in the sport.  One of the greatest features of the fencing is that like golf, tennis, sailing among others it can be enjoyed for a lifetime and by men and women alike.  Lincoln Square is fortunate to have it’s own fencing club which has classes for adults and children at all levels of experience.  Last night the club opened it’s doors to the Bulldog and allowed us to photograph an adult practice.  There will be a open house for the club the last Thursday of the month for details please check their website http://lincolnsquarefencing.com/ .
