ABOUT ME
DOB: 6/8/1998 | HEIGHT: 173 cm | WEIGHT: 65 kg
My father was previously a fencer. From him, I learnt that trilogy of accuracy, concentration and speed was usually
the deciding factor in competitions. My ideal day of course, is to win a gold medal in 28th SEA Games in front of the
Singapore home crowd!

ABOUT ME
DOB: 8/7/1993 | HEIGHT: 172 cm | WEIGHT: 55 kg
My love for fencing started when I joined fencing as a CCA in Secondary one. I love the feeling of accomplishment
after a sparring session. I find I can always learn something new in each session. My favourite local dish is the chilli
crab! Especially with the fried mini buns to dip into the sauce!

ABOUT ME
DOB: 8/3/1991 | HEIGHT: 155 cm | WEIGHT: 46 kg
Fencing is very much a think–on–your–feet sport, as you have to anticipate your opponent’s moves and react
quickly. The ensuing battle of wits is often in the mind, what you see are the results. Support from Singaporeans is
important as it encourages me to work harder at training and fight harder in competitions.

ABOUT ME

My brother was in fencing, and I decided to follow in his footsteps. I have been hooked ever since due to the
complexity of the sport. The Sports Hub is just like my second home, because it has everything: food, shopping and
friends.

ABOUT ME
DOB: 17/1/1995 | HEIGHT: 167 cm | WEIGHT: 55 kg
I love fencing, especially the sabre, as its tempo is fast throughout the entire touch. As you can guess, my choice of
weapon reflects my personality too: attack is the most effective form of defence. Of course, I do learn the defensive
parries… I have tactics to fall back on in case the opponent sees through my attacks.

DOB: 10/11/1994 | HEIGHT: 178 cm | WEIGHT: 75 kg
I first watched fencing during the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. I’ve always had a love for swords, and to finally
learn fencing in 2007 was a dream come true. My must–do activities in an ideal day are drinking nice coffee at a
cafe, sitting outdoors all day long, and heading for training.

DAVID CHAN WEI REN
ABOUT ME
DOB: 12/7/1984 | HEIGHT: 173 cm | WEIGHT: 77 kg
I must reveal that there is an aggressive side to my otherwise friendly personality. Fencing, to me, represents a
“legal” way to fight, yet the sport has been elevated to levels of professionalism way beyond street fighting. Indeed,
fencing has been the exercise of the nobility since the 12th century!

fencing. I like to stay at my training complex. It is a fencing environment filled with fun–loving team mates.

ABOUT ME
DOB: 8/11/1994 | HEIGHT: 173 cm | WEIGHT: 67.5 kg
I am living my childhood’s fantasy of fighting with swords. On a more serious note, fencing has much to offer.
Intellectually, it teaches you how to strategise, how to maximise the impact of a particular move on the opponent.
Emotionally, you learn the rewards of self–control and perseverance.

ABOUT ME
DOB: 19/6/1998 | HEIGHT: 172 cm | WEIGHT: 68 kg
I love to play with swords when I was a kid and my parents thought fencing is a proper outlet for my swashbuckling
tendencies. My father is very supportive. He set up a fencing piste at home so that I can practice even when school
work prevents me from attending training as often as I wanted to.

ABOUT ME
DOB: 23/3/1994 | HEIGHT: 157 cm | WEIGHT: 46 kg
To be honest, I kind of entered into fencing because my siblings are doing it. Very soon, mere dabbling became a
passion as my results improved over the years. I must have a long hot shower whenever I return from overseas
competitions. It really prepares me for a good sleep!

Fencing is challenging. There will always be something new to learn in this sport even until now. Taking part in
competitions also increases my love for this sport. There are two things I do when I reach home after competitions:
first, give my grandmother a hug and kiss. And secondly, eat all the local delicacies!

ABOUT ME
DOB: 24/1/2000 | HEIGHT: 165 cm | WEIGHT: 42 kg
My elder sister is a wonderful fencer and she inspired me to try it. Intellectual capability is as much important as
footwork or blade work in fencing. More often than not, one wins not only in terms of speed, but also because he
thinks faster than his opponent and is therefore able to anticipate his moves.

ABOUT ME
DOB: 13/3/1991 | HEIGHT:162 cm | WEIGHT: 49 kg
Back then, I was impressed by the handwork, blade work and footwork of fencing. Indeed, I believe each fencer
follows a “melody”, consciously or unconsciously, which accounts for the gracefulness of the sport. I relish mee pok
(dry) filled with extra doses of chilli, vinegar and lard.

My father introduced the sport to me when I was a little girl, and I’ve loved it ever since. The fluidity of the
movements, and the beauty of the gear sort of bewitched me. Orchard Road is where I usually hang out with my
friends because it is a great place to chill and shop.

Sword fighting is cool. You know, from young, I have always loved watching heroic movies such as Highlander, The
Three Musketeers, The Mark of Zorro and Pirates of The Caribbean. Legendary heroes have been my role models…

Fencing is an interesting sport. Indeed, it uses all your body parts: your mind has to calculate the opponent’s moves,
your hands and legs have to move in unison with your strategies. I am the quiet type. I like to rest at home when
