You do NOT need to purchase your own equipment to learn to fence with us. But, once you've 'caught the bug', you can purchase your own stuff from our Pro Shop.
Try equipment on before purchasing.
If we don't have your size in stock, we can get it!
In town visiting Cleveland? Let us know. We would be delighted to accommodate you.
What we carry:
Masks, jackets, gloves, chest guards, plastrons, body and head cords, weapons (both youth and adult) knickers (or fencing pants) and bags to hold it all in.
So, before you try and 'translate' the online fencing equipment store language, make an appointment with us to purchase your fencing gear needs.
We accept Cash, Check or Venmo. (Sorry, no credit cards. We are trying to keep our prices down.)
Looking to show your support?
We have team patches, t-shirts and hoodies.
Make new friends and stab them!
Who doesn't like playing with swords!
