Education & Accreditation Program was launched and by years end we boast 30 professionally trained  Orientation  Instructors (class instruction for primary schools).

Welcome to Fencing Online, your internet access  to a myriad of information provided by the Australian Academy of Fencing. 

At the Australian Academy of Fencing you will find all that you want to know about learning both classical and artistic fencing. The Australian Academy of Fencing is Australia's National Industry Training Provider for Classical Fencing and Artistic Performance. Our Mission is to provide Excellence... in Fencing Education and Instruction.     

As you browse though you will soon discover the fascination of fencing in both it's forms, as an Olympic sport and as an Artistic performance.  As an Olympic sport, Fencing was one of the original sports of the modern Olympic Games and up until Mark Spitz at the Munich Olympic Games of 1972 set the current record for the most gold medals won at an Olympic Games it was held by a Fencer, Nedo Nadi who at the 1920 Games won a total of 5 gold medals when there were only 6 events to contest. And, as an Artistic performance, fencing provides the basis of all the sword fighting you'll see in the Performing Arts.

 Get Active ....... Get En Garde! ......  and Get Fencing .... for Life.

THE AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF FENCING
How well you learn and your potential in fencing is determined by the quality of instruction you receive. Arguably the most important aspect of fencing education must be the quality of teaching.  The primary concern of the Australian Academy of Fencing is to provide the highest level of fencing education (how to fence) and pedagogy (how to teach fencing) to the Sport, Recreation and the Performing Arts Industry.

Over the last 3 decades, a number of Fencing Masters have contributed to the development of the En Garde! Fencing program.  It is a progressively tiered, skill-goal oriented program that teaches the concepts of fencing by reinforcing the feelings and sensations associated with quality performance. It is simply, if you put in the right ingredients you can expect the right results. Fencers who are taught in this manner can expect to experience significant skill improvement as they progress through the various levels of competency.   

If you would like to learn En Garde! Fencing call 0419 018 377  or for more information on teaching En Garde! Fencing click here.

Over the last couple of years the Australian Academy of Fencing has now taught close to 40 Sport and Recreation Staff that service 5 Active Recreation Camps throughout Queensland.   And in the last year at the Currimundi Active Recreation Centre alone, 4110 primary school children were introduced to Fencing, so ... Get Active!  Get En Garde! and Get FENCING!     

The Australian Academy of Fencing (A.A.F.) is Australia's National Fencing Academy (A.A.N.) to the Académie d'Armes Internationale (A.A.I.)
