Before you purchase FENCING equipment ...... consider

When you start to invest in fencing first priorize your own instruction (go from classes to individual lessons) AND remember that the bench mark of a good Coach is that they should be able to produce a National Finalist within 3-5 seasons. Checkout the coaching results that your Coach is producing and if it's not acceptable - find yourself a better qualified Coach. Then purchase your equipment over a period of time: a foil, mask, plastron, glove, uniform, electric weapon/s (foil/epee/sabre) with non-maraging blades - and then, when you KNOW that fencing is the sport for you, - FIE competition uniform, FIE mask and start by replacing broken blades with FIE (maraging) blades in your electric weapons.

Some equipment alternatives to consider:

Fencing GLOVES: Fencing gloves can be rather expensive for the beginner fencer but it is important to wear a glove when learning how to fence. Initially any soft leather glove is fine – consider a golf glove and if you wish, you can add a piece of chamois leather at the wrist for the gauntlet.

Fencing SHOES: Squash is a good cross-training sport for fencing and a squash shoe has been designed to provide support for similar foot-type movement as is found in fencing. Good balance and support is required of any sporting shoe so therefore for the serious athlete and/or adolescent we suggest you consider consulting a Podiatrist regarding the use of orthotics in your sporting shoes. Dunlop Volleys are a good starter.

fentec Learn-to-Fence / Training Plastrons now come in 3 sizes: small is our children's size, medium is for a teenager and large is our adult size.

fentec Training Plastrons are designed:

to be easily put on and taken off. The plastron uses velcro at the neck and a strap with a plastic clip at the back.
to allow for correct biomechanical fencing movement. The plastron has been cut to be worn as a garment, NOT as a padding.
to absorb impact from forceful hits. The liner is of a high-density material which offers excellent absorption from heavy hits.
to provide an industry-standard sport-specific garment for both students and instructors. By adding a leather overlay the garment becomes a professional quality coaches plastron.
to be easily washed and maintained. The liner is removed when washing and the polyester-cotton material of the plastron washes well. There is no need to iron the plastrons.
designed with fencing specificity in mind. The color of the garment is White – the same as a fencing competition uniform. Instructors and coaches add a leather overlay – similar to the electric lame of the competitor.
