GARDE.
Fencing is won with the head, not just the arm. We train fencers in foil, épée and sabre — from the first class to the national podium.
THREE WEAPONS.
ONE IS YOURS.
New students try all three before specializing. You choose a weapon by trying it, not guessing.
■ VALID TARGET AREA
Foil
The weapon of pure technique. Touches land only with the point, and only the torso counts. It has right-of-way rules: whoever attacks first leads.
- WEIGHT
- < 500 g
- BLADE
- 35 in
- TOUCH
- Point
- RIGHT OF WAY
- Yes
Ideal if you like precision, strategy and building the play.
Épée
The closest to a real duel. The whole body is valid, head to toe, and there’s no right of way: if both touch at once, both score.
- WEIGHT
- < 770 g
- BLADE
- 35 in
- TOUCH
- Point
- RIGHT OF WAY
- No
Ideal if you’re patient, observant and love the counterattack.
Sabre
The fastest weapon. Touches count with the point and the edge, on everything from the waist up. Explosive bouts decided in tenths of a second.
- WEIGHT
- < 500 g
- BLADE
- 35 in
- TOUCH
- Point and edge
- RIGHT OF WAY
- Yes
Ideal if you’re explosive, fast and like to take the initiative.

Three weapons
Coaches specialized in foil, épée and sabre.
Track record

FAQ.
Do I need my own gear to start?
No. We lend you protective gear and a weapon for the first three months. We recommend buying your own as you move up.
From what age can you start?
The youth program takes students from age 8. For adults there’s no upper age limit.
How do I choose between foil, épée and sabre?
In your first classes you try all three before deciding which to specialize in.
Is it a safe sport?
Yes. With approved gear and direct supervision, fencing has lower injury rates than many contact sports.
Do you prepare students for sanctioned tournaments?
Yes, with specific preparation for regional and national tournaments.
Do you run corporate events?
