MORE youths are expected to pick up fencing, which is popularly known as a combat sport, following the inaugural Negri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2023 tournament, which attracted some 260 young fencers from all over the country.

The two-day event organised by the Negri Sembilan Fencing Association (PLPNS) was divided into several categories, such as the Under-8, Under-10, Under-12, and Under-15 levels for both girls and boys in the foil, epee and sabre disciplines.
