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

Remember, that the initial instruction you receive is just so important for your future development in the sport or artistic performance of fencing. If you are practicing the moves incorrectly, you will get better at doing them incorrectly. So it is imperative to checkout the background of the Instructor/Coach, and if your not satisfied - find yourself an AAF accredited Instructor / Coach. So, when you start fencing first prioritize your own instruction i.e. go from classes (bronze competencies) to individual tuition (silver & gold grade competencies). Then purchase your equipment over a period of time: a foil, mask, plastron, glove, uniform, electric weapon/s (foil/epee/sabre) with non-maraging electric blades - and then, when you KNOW that fencing is the sport for you, - FIE competition uniform, FIE mask and start upgrading by replacing broken blades with FIE (maraging) blades in your electric weapons. If you have any questions regarding fencing equipment give Aaron a call on 0419 738 745

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.

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.
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 absorb excessive perspiration. The liner is also a high-absorbency material which offers excellent absorption of perspiration.
to provide a sport and recreation, 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.
