Manitoba fencers have competed and have been finalists at many National Championships, Canada Winter Games, Commonwealth Championships, etc. No experience is necessary and instruction is provided by Canadian Fencing Federation certified coaches. The clubs offer instruction at all levels, from beginner to advanced. Both men and women are encouraged to join, and all of the equipment necessary for the beginner to try out the sport for a few months is available at the clubs. Each club has fencers who compete regularly and are ranked in the Canadian Fencing Federation Rankings.
Many clubs operate sanctioned tournaments from time to time during the year.
See the club coach about becoming a competitive fencer. The MFA has a Provincial Team, consisting of up to 20 members, coached by the Provincial Coach. All members have access to the Provincial Team Programs and coaching if they are interested in additional training beyond the club programs. The MFA also works in the areas of coaching and officials development, runs the Provincial Fencing Tournament, and offers packages of fencing classes for school programs. If you are interested in trying someting a bit different as a special learning experience in your school, why not fencing.
