Fencing provides a good physical workout, it improves coordination, balance, concentration, and strategic thinking. It challenges mind and body—and did we mention: IT IS FUN!

Fencing clothing and gear covers the whole body, so it provides good protection. Fencing masks – a strong mesh head gear – are standard equipment.  We provide free sanitized equipment to our beginners. When they become members, they can buy or rent equipment. Fencing clothing is easily maintainable and can be washed.

Fencers aim to win 5-10-15 touch bouts (matches).  They start from behind the “On Guard” line, where the fencers are about 13 feet apart. We use 3.5-foot-long epees, foils or sabers and move forward and backward on the 52 feet long fencing strip. To set up a good attack or good defense, we always must consider the best distance. The rules of fencing mandate that fencers salute each other before and after bouting (sparring); due to COVID-19 we no longer do courtesy handshakes after a bout.
