Equipment Requirements

All the specialist equipment is provided for fencers taking part in our beginner courses or our Spartan classes. Fencers should wear trainers, a t-shirt and long trousers.

Once fencers have more experience, they will need their own kit. This can be purchased on-site or online at Leon Paul.

The following is a list of required equipment:

  • Long socks (football socks work well)

  • Breeches

  • Plastron (800 N plastron required if fencing anyone over the age of 14)

  • Jacket

  • Lamé (if your child does foil or sabre)

  • Glove

  • Mask

  • Chest Protector (mandatory for women)

  • Weapon

  • Body Wire

  • Mask Wire

In addition to the specialist fencing equipment, we would advise that you bring a towel, a water bottle and a snack!

Please contact us if you have any questions.
