Equipment
All participants will be expected to bring their own equipment in order to fence. A starter set costs on average $125.00 and includes everything you will need to fence safely. The starter kit is not required for the first month of practice. During this time you will be working on learning the rules, doing footwork drills, and other conditioning exercises. Also, your first month with the fencing club is free. This way you can see if you like fencing before you run out and buy all of the equipment and pay any club fees.
