Eric Wu is a student in Year 7. He is reaching some great heights in the sport of Fencing.
We found out a little bit more about what he's been achieving.
Describe what you do and what you have achieved so far.
I am a registered member of NSW Fencing Association. Currently on Under 12 Foil.
I started Fencing training from early 2020. By the end of 2020, I ranked No 1 under 12 (Foil) and got Grand Prix Award 2020.
So far this year I have scored 1 Gold Medal for Peter Witkop Shield U12 and 1 Bronze Medal for the same cup U14. I also represented Thomas Hassall for NSW school Championships and scored 1 Gold Medal for Year 7-9 and 1 bronze medal for Year 10-12.
What sort of training do you do to achieve these results, how often, schedule etc.
My club is NSW Fencing Academy and I am coached by current head coach of the Australian National Fencing Team - Antonio Signorello. I currently attend training 2-3 times a week.
What are your plans/hopes and dreams for the future?
My short term goal is to keep improving my fencing skills and help my brothers Max and Isaac to master their skills.
Long Term goal is to be one day able to join the National Team and represent Australia to compete in an international level.
Well done to Eric and we all wish you well in your future pursuits.
