F A Q

• You don't have to
• You can learn and start to fence without investing in weapons, jackets, gloves or masks 
• Renting is offered as a convenience to new fencers and parents of fencers in order to make it easy to try the sport without making an upfront investment
• It is a temporary solution: we encourage fencers and parents to acquire their own equipment as soon as the decision is made to continue with the sport, usually after two months
• You can rent from us on a monthly basis for $50, which includes everything you need for class
• There are no stores in Miami but there are many online stores to choose from

 When students first sign up for fencing, in order to be covered by the Club's (and the Federation's) insurance, students are required to fill out and submit a "Trial Membership Application".  Use the link below to download the PDF file; fill out and submit.

Essentially it gives you or your child 7 days of "coverage" for free, but after that, the Federation requires all fencers to join. Initially as a "Non-Competitive" member, and later as a "Competitive" member if the fencer wants to participate in competitions.

 Due to insurance regulations children must be 8 years or older

There is no upper age limit
