The Deshi Fencers team gave a live demonstration of fencing, a sport rarely seen in public events in Bangladesh. The group's President, Ahnaf Niloy, said their goal is simple: make fencing more accessible and better known.

"Fencing gear isn't available in Bangladesh, and it's expensive. Beginners don't know where to find suits or equipment," Niloy explained. "Deshi Fencers was created to help people find clubs near them, based on their location and routine."

According to Niloy, fencing in Bangladesh is still far behind compared to other sports. Talented athletes are struggling to get recognition or sponsorship, and many cannot participate in international competitions because of a lack of support.

"We want to close that gap. If fencing becomes even a little more visible, we'll see real progress. Bangladesh can compete internationally—we just need the system to support it," he said.

The group's demo was fast-paced and disciplined. For many attendees, it was the first time seeing fencing up close.
