SAFETY
Fencing is a safe sport.
Despite its historic roots in dueling, the modern game raises the safety standard beyond most other sports.
Safe practice is achieved through modern, well maintained gear, a strict focus on minimizing risk when designing all activities, and excellent supervision by the instructor.”
We pride ourselves on adding to Fencing reputation for safety.

ACCOMMODATING COVID
The pandemic is a reality that every business has to deal with. Maintaining safety standards while minimizing risks are our highest priority.
To ensure everyone’s safety we use the most up to date guidelines of The Canadian government, the Ontario Government and the Ontario Fencing Association.
Social distancing will be respected and everyone will be required to wear masks. Our scheduling is being updated as are our lesson plans. Class sizes will be limited, and some exercises will not be practiced to meet these standards.
