Following up from our Into to Fencing competition in March, this Intro to Fencing Competition will allow fencers with less than 2 years of experience an opportunity to further their competition experience in a fun and relaxed morning for school and club fencers of all ages.

The morning will provide education to fencers who have never entered a competition, or only competed in the Brisbane School Teams Competition.

The competition will include a walkthrough of all aspects of equipment required to compete in QFA run events, how to wear and use equipment, competitions structure, Poule fencing, using electronic scoring boxes, explanation of refereeing calls, match scoring and seedings.

Fencers wishing to enter this event require QFA School, Club, Junior or Senior membership, with less than 2 years of fencing experience. Note that fencers must provide bring their own individual equipment, the QFA has no capacity to lend this equipment on the day. Some clubs or schools may have capacity to provide rental or loan gear, please contact them to enquire.
