Did you know...

Over 100 fencing tournaments and 100,000 fencing bouts are fenced annually in Canada?

Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, was himself a fencer. He wanted to include horseback fencing in the Olympic program!

There are over 870,000 possible actions in épée alone!

Canadian military pilots-in-training were required to participate in fencing for the development of hand-eye coordination and reflexes.

The fencing choreography in Star Wars (IV), The Princess Bride, Highlander, The Three Muskateers, Zorro, Lord of the Rings, and James Bond: Die Another Day, was done by fencing master Bob Anderson, a former Technical Director of the Canadian Fencing Federation.

Best of all...our athletes can participate all year round and people of all ages can enjoy this unique sport.
