The formation of the first fencing training center in our city is connected with the name of Simon Sakvareldze, after whose name this school has been named.”
Simon Sakvareldze was one of the great trainers who raised Olympic and world prize winners through his dedication without any sports equipment or special equipment. Every year, a tournament is held in his memory in the municipality. The tournament has now gained popularity on an international scale. The local government always supports such initiatives with the help of sports personnel.
