Small Fencing Practice Target
All classical fencers need practice to stay in top form. Regular target practice maintains basic actions giving time for more complicated techniques with the master. This small hand-made foil fencing practice target features a canvas and leather front padded by thick upholstery foam which softens shock into the hand when struck. The target’s back is covered with felt to protect any surface it hangs on. Read our suggested practice exercises below and learn how to best use our foil practice targets to increase your accuracy and control.
