Is fencing safe?

The practice of any sport involves a certain level of risk. However, and despite the fact that we are working with weapons, fencing is considered a safe sport when we follow all safety rules. The specific equipment is mandatory for all fencers, because it ensures a safer practice.

Which weapons do you have in your club?

As of today - June 2025 - we are an Epee-only club. We have friends in other clubs that can guide you in Saber and Foil. Give us a call and we will help you with that.

Are the weapons real?

Well, they sure are. Metallic and plastic blades are all blunt, still they are weapons. We teach our kids the safety standards, starting at minute one; and the most important is: "keep your tip down while you are not fencing". They soon understand and get used to manage themselves inside the club environment

Am I too old to start?

Never! Fencing is an amazing art, to be practiced by people 4 - 99+. It provides excellent physical activity in the most engaging possible way. Not exciting enough? Well, there are adult competition circuits across the globe, and they are a fantastic way to make friends and live new experiences. Give us a call, bring a friend and let's get started!

What to wear on my first day?

For younger kids - 4 to 8 years old - we use long sport pants, t-shirt and sport shoes (no baseball or soccer cleats, no open toe shoes or croc style, please).
For 9 years old and up, bring shorts, long socks (to the knee), sport closed shoes, t-shirt. You will be using the white fencing pants on top of the pants you are wearing.
Please tie your hair if long. Headbands are always a great idea.
Don't forget your bottle of water for hydration!
 

Do I need previous experience?

Absolutely not. We are here to teach you fencing from day one. We will start with fundamentals, and move in the program as you grow as a fencer.

Do I need my own equipment?

Not to start. We provide all equipment during the first month of class. After that time, we guide you in the process of getting your own gear.

Is there a trial class?

Yes. We offer a trial class for our guest to experience fencing. Class is 45 minutes long and you can schedule in advance.
