The Halton Blades is a newly formed fencing club dedicated to promoting the world’s oldest Olympic sport. We encourage a healthy lifestyle through instruction, relentless practice and sporting events. One of our goals is to expose the unique nature of fencing to a much greater range of people in the Halton area by giving them an opportunity to try it, and to raise awareness of fencing.
The club is registered with the Ontario Fencing Association and the Canadian Fencing Federation. Our programs are based on the current Canadian training system which focuses on achievement and success of each fencer. We are participants in the CFF’s armband performance evaluation program.
We offer programs for beginners age eight through adults, as well as training under the instructions of qualified coaches for advanced fencers in epee. Our vision of fencing includes the promotion of both the competitive and leisure aspects of the sport to all ages and genders.
We provide an exciting environment for those with ambitious dreams while fully supporting the recreational fencers who are interested in pursuing fencing in a relaxed manner and want to play with the sword for fitness. They will find an enjoyable, low-pressure atmosphere, while the athletes will develop and improve their skills for sport battles.
Please feel free to take a tour of our website where you can find out all about our club. You will also find a lot of information about the sport of fencing, which we hope you will find useful.
