The Kanata Fencing Club is happy to give people who have never tried fencing (or if you did fence a long time ago) the chance to learn the basics of the sport in a friendly atmosphere. We aim to make this a practical experience, which you can then develop further in our friendly club. We run three sessions every year starting in September, January and April. There are group lessons Tuesday nights and an open sparring night on Fridays. Individual lessons are also offered on Fridays.

All weapons are welcome, though the group lessons on Tuesdays are offered only in foil.

For more advanced fencers with electric equipment, we have a partnership with the other clubs in Ottawa. As a member of Kanata Fencing, you are also welcome to fence at Carleton University on Saturday mornings and at the RA Centre on Monday Nights. Please ask your coach for details.

New Beginner's Course

Beginner courses start in September, January and April. The duration is three months per session. Newcomers are welcome at anytime and will be integrated with other club members. Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Group lessons are on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30pm for children (10 to 13 years) and 7:30 to 9:00pm for teens and adults.  On Fridays we have an open fencing night for all ages. Individual lessons are also available on Friday nights. The Friday class is from 6:30pm to 9:00pm. Equipment is available, however, you will need to wear trousers that will stretch a bit - tracksuit bottoms are ideal - gym shoes - and a T-shirt. You will also want to bring something to drink, as fencing can be thirsty work.

Club fees are $180 per session.
Individual lessons are $10/15 minutes.
If you need to borrow club equipment a $100 deposit is required. The deposit is returned when the equipment is brought back in good condition.
