Fencing
Fencing clubs can be found across greater Sydney, along with some clubs across the country including in Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Canberra and Wagga. Most clubs will welcome beginners and some may have a dedicated beginner program, and usually will provide all equipment required for the first few months. The weapon we fence in pentathlon is Epee.
