I am happy to help you with understanding and ordering the fencing equipment for your fencer!!! 🙂 We don't require our new students to purchase anything until they tried the sport and showed interest in continuing the training further. We provide equipment to all our introduction and beginners level students for the first 60 days of their participation in our program. The intermediate and advanced level students are required to purchase their own full electric equipment set and there are lots of benefits to owning personal gear.

​

  After the 60 days of trial period, a student may choose from the following options:

1) Lease equipment from the club at $35/month. This option is great for those who can continue trying and not ready to invest in equipment.

2) Buy used gear. This option is great for anyone who wants to buy personal gear and want to save few $$$.

3) Buy new gear. The easiest and the fastest way to buy equipment. You can divide your equipment purchase into few months to help with the initial investment cost.

​

What are the equipment types:

  Dry fencing equipment (non electric) is good for the introduction and beginners levels. That is the equipment we start using in our first few months of training. 

  Electric fencing equipment is necessary for all students who continue attending classes beyond 3-4 months and are introduced to the real fencing experience. Fencing with the electric fencing gear is much more fun and is the real fencing experience! Once students start using the electric gear, they never want to go back to the dry equipment.

   Please know that you are not obligated to purchase all the equipment at once. You can buy a the "Dry Set" (non electric) first and then continue adding more pieces (electric gear) later as your child continue to progress.

​

   You are welcome to order your personal equipment on your own by following the instructions below. Or, if you want me to order the equipment for you, you will be charged $35 processing fees and sales taxes.

   Please NOTE: The intermediate and advanced levels require a full electric equipment set. Also, intermediate and advanced levels will need to order at least 2 foils and 2 bodycords.

   I recommend purchasing equipment from the https://www.absolutefencinggear.com/.

   Please note, most kids will wear equipment size S or XS. Teens or adults will most likely wear M. It is very rare when someone wears L size equipment. Uniform fitting should be comfortable to wear - if you are not sure about size, always go one size up rather than down.

Please follow the sizing chart to find the correct size for your fencer before purchasing anything: https://www.absolutefencinggear.com/sizinghelp
