Safety is of the highest priority at Durendal. Each member receives a safety lecture upon joining the club. Members are allowed to fence only when they are wearing the proper safety equipment. For electric fencing, plastrons and knickers are required. Competition Many of our members attend state, regional, and national-level tournaments.
Car pooling among members is common.
In addition, we hold informal intraclub tournaments the first Tuesday of the month evening to provide our fencers with additional competitive experience. USFA regulations for equipment are enforced. Jackets, gloves, masks and plastrons can be rented from the club, but all fencers are expected to provide their own knickers. For further information about the Durendal Fencing Club or fencing in general, contact Jessie Micales , club secretary.
