I am doing the post as a follow up on the post, All About the Sport of Sabre Fencing. I hope the post inspired you to give it a try! If so, this is a post about how to get started with this amazing sport.
To get started with fencing, you need to find a club in your area that offers a beginner’s class. Almost every club does. This class will teach you the basics of fencing and help you figure out whether or not you like the sport. All clubs offer gear to borrow in a beginner’s class.
Here are a few fencing clubs in the area
Midsouth Fencer’s Club (I highly recommend! I am in the Academy class there and will soon be in the youth competitive program. It’s a great club! )
Research Triangle Fencing School
Once you have found a club and finished the beginner’s program, if you want to continue you can talk to the club for next steps, and even get your own gear! I hope you will like the sport!
