Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get started with fencing?

We offer intro fencing programs for kids and adults all year long. Our intro programs run for 6-8wks and are designed for the absolute beginner. Take a look at our schedule, pick whichever day you would like, and sign up! All equipment is provided at no extra cost.

How can I register?

You can register through our registration portal, or by contacting us at for a payment link.

What do I need for my first class?

All you need to bring are a pair of clean indoor shoes, long athletic pants, a shirt you don’t mind getting sweaty, and a water bottle - we provide everything else!

Can I register for more than one class a week?

Yes you can! Although we recommend completing the intro program before adding extra days. Note that if you wanted to schedule two classes you would need to sign up for each program separately through our registration portal or contact us with your desired schedule and we can send you a payment link.

Do you offer a family discount or a discount for multiple sign ups?

We offer a discount for families signing up multiple participants or for fencers training with us more than once a week. Contact us for more details.

Do you offer flexible scheduling options?

Yes! Contact us if you would prefer a modified payment link or monthly plan!

Where are you located?

We are currently running classes 5 days a week at three locations across south east Mississauga. For more details about where we are, check out our locations page!

What is the OFA/CFA Membership and do I need one?

The Ontario Fencing Association (OFA) and the Canadian Fencing Federation (CFF) are the governing bodies of fencing in the province and country. They organize tournaments, compile rankings, and more importantly provide insurance for you and your fencing club! New fencers do not need to sign up for their OFA membership since we cover that for you. However after completing the intro program we require our returning fencers to get their OFA/CFF Membership.

Which level OFA/CFF Membership?

We require all returning fencers to obtain the Recreational OFA Membership. This membership costs roughly $35/yr and provides you with coverage to fence in the province and compete at unranked local events. For people who are looking to compete and collect points, we recommend getting the Competitive OFA Membership. This memberships costs about $80/yr and also includes the CFF license. It allows you to compete at any tournament in the country. More details can be found here.

What programs do you offer?

We offer modern sport foil fencing classes for beginners, intermediate (recreational), and competitive fencers all year long. Our youth classes are for students aged 9-15yrs old and our adult classes start at 16yrs and older. Did you know our largest age demographic is actually 25-30yrs old? We are one of the only clubs in the GTA that provides quality adult programs for recreational fencers! Additionally we also offer Historical Rapier (HEMA) fencing classes for beginners and experienced fencers 16yrs and older.

Do you offer drop-in fencing?

Yup! Every Sunday we have drop-in fencing from 6-10pm. Note that drop-in fencing has limited availability and is typically made up of our more serious competitive minded fencers. That being said we are more than happy to welcome anyone to come check it out. If you are currently borrowing club gear, give us a heads-up to make sure we bring your gear for you.

Which class is the right fit for me?

We believe that anyone can fence and it’s been our motto since the beginning, we aim to provide quality fencing programs for everyone regardless of their goals or motivation! Are you looking to get in shape? Fencing is a great way to have fun and get a full-body work out. Are you looking to make some new friends or find community? Plenty of our students have been with us for decades for this exact reason! Are you looking to compete? We have a growing squad of competitive focused fencers who train multiple days a week and are pushing for tournament results.

Do you offer a free trial? Can I come visit?

We believe in making sure each fencer has a proper introduction to the sport so we’ve never found offering short free trials to be a beneficial learning experience. However since it’s our goal to make fencing more accessible we are always happy to accommodate when we can - we often invite new fencers to come visit us to spectate a class, meet the coaches, see how things works, and watch fencing in person! Additionally if you wanted to try it out, we may be able to arrange something but it depends on how busy our classes are - send us an email and we will do our best!

Where can I buy fencing equipment?

Buying equipment can be a daunting process for new fencers but we have plenty of recommendations for you - get in contact with us and we’d be happy to help!
