Located in Livonia, [Salle d’Etroit](http://www.salledetroit.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) is a robust fencing club with six electric strips and enough space to hold a tournament. The club is equipped to teach anyone with little to no experience, ages 6 to 60-plus.

“You don’t have to be the fastest or the most athletic to do well in fencing,” says Ben Shleis, co-owner and head coach of Salle d’Etroit. “Building your own strategy comes from knowing your own and your opponents limitations.” Because of this, explained Shlies, fencing is a great alternative for people who may not have felt a connection to team sports.
