Yes, it can be done! Blind fencing combines orientation and mobility skills in unique ways. Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey talk with Pat Pound, a blind fencer, about techniques, equipment, and safety. Pat explains how fencing parallels using a white cane, shares training strategies, and highlights the physical and mental benefits of the sport.
