Life is about new experiences. There is so much we want to try! But many sports and new hobbies can only hold our attention for a brief time. Rarely do these experiments become a lifelong activity that we develop and take pride in improving over the years.

But guess what? Fencing is an exception. Fencing is addictive! A child picks up a stick to challenge their friends, and they're hooked for life! Everyone that tries fencing once has a hard time quitting. Even if they do quit, they will still probably come back to it again later in life. Once a fencer, always a fencer.

Why does this ancient sport become such a lasting part of people's lives? While teaching young people, I ask myself this same question again and again. And every time I work with a new student, I find a different answer!

Are you ready to give it a try?

My Fencing Club is a Toronto-based fencing club where people of all ages and experience levels enjoy this ancient art of dueling. We boast over 50 club members, some of whom compete at the provincial level, and we are a proud member of the Ontario Fencing Association (OFA).

We offer beginner, advance and private fencing lessons that challenge your body and mind in ways that no other sport can. As a combat sport, fencing calls on tremendous agility, reflexes, tactical smarts, speed, discipline and hand-eye coordination. It improves coordination and posture while providing aerobic exercise and strength training.
