We carry a selection of new and used fencing equipment from several equipment manufacturers. If we don't carry it, we would be happy to suggest mail-order equipment suppliers to you, and we often have catalogs in the office to look at. We can also help you take your measurements so you get the right stuff.

• Weapons
  • Replacement blades
  • Weapon parts
• Clothing

  • Socks
  • Underarm protectors
  • Chest plates
  • Headsweats

Please come in and see us.

What do I need for my class?

• Intro 1 and Beginning Day-Camp students are provided with all the equipment they need. Just wear loose, stretchy pants (like sweats - no tight jeans or shorts!), athletic shoes (non-marking soles), and a t-shirt.
• Musketeers will need to buy a glove, which we sell here. We provide all the rest.
• Intro 2 students need to provide a glove and an underarm protector (UAP), which we sell here. We provide all the rest.
• Basic Foil Skills students (and higher) need to provide all their equipment. This includes the weapon, mask, jacket, UAP, knickers, chest protector (females only), and long socks. We can rent you equipment if you cannot afford to buy it all at once (or your child is in a rapid growth phase). We sell some of this here, but for most we suggest buying online.
• Intro to Sabre/Epee students need to provide all their own equipment, but will be supplied with a sabre/epee for the duration of the class. After that they will need to provide their own.
• Basic Sabre Skills students need an elbow protector in addition to regular equipment. We generally have these in stock.
• Basic Epee Skills students are NOT required to have electric weapons and gear, but it is strongly suggested. Start with a body cord and electric epee. (We sell body cords and parts, but not full epees.)

Not required, but suggested are:

• Chest protector for males
• Fencing bag to keep all your stuff organized and clean
• Repair kit for electrical epeeists
• Second (and 3rd and 4th) pair of socks
• Sweat-wicking t-shirt (and if you can't get one, try one of our snazzy SCF ones!)
