About The Club

Our club was founded on the principal that believe that anyone can fence and we embrace that way of thinking in everything we do.

It begins with teaching the passion for the sport first and foremost. This is why we proudly offer recreational programs in addition to our growing competitive team! It’s simple, fencing is an amazing sport, a fun hobby, a great workout, and an amazing way to make lifelong friends over a shared hobby.

With a coaching staff with over 4 decades of fencing experience, and the best looking fencing club in the GTA, we are one of a kind & would love to introduce you to the sport of fencing!
