FOR ADULTS WHO WANT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, HAVE FUN, AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS.

Learn to fence in 4 weeks, meet great people, and have a ton of fun this fall with our top program in Calgary!
Join First Step Fencing, our BIGGEST and BEST beginner fencing program, running from November 7 to December 5 in Calgary, and discover how much fun fencing can be, no matter your age or training background.
Secure a fall full of fun, new friends, and new experiences!
WHAT IS FIRST STEP FENCING?
Our Biggest and Greatest adult beginner program ever!
First Step Fencing is our biggest beginner program ever for adults.
You’ll learn the basics, meet new people, and get a real feel for the sport, regardless of your age or goals. After four weeks, you’ll know whether fencing is for you and there’s a good chance it is!
BUILT TO MAKE STARTING EASY
Give yourself something to look forward to!
Starting a new sport as an adult can feel like a big step. There is the time, the effort, the cost, and the uncertainty of whether you will actually enjoy it. That is exactly why we created First Step Fencing to make it easier.
YOU DON’T NEED TO CLEAR YOUR WHOLE CALENDAR
With multiple weekly sessions to choose from, you can select the two that fit best around work, family, and everything else life throws at you. The program works around your schedule, not the other way around.
YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO START FENCING
Many adults assume fencing is something you need to start when you are young. That is simply not true. Our program is designed for complete beginners of all ages. You will learn step by step, progress at your own pace, and train alongside other adults who are starting from scratch too.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE “THE ATHLETIC ONE”
Fencing rewards focus, timing, strategy, and a willingness to learn more than raw strength or fitness. Many adults who have never found a sport they truly enjoy discover that fencing is the one that finally clicks.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT
Here’s how First Step Fencing makes your fall both more fun and more meaningful!
This program is about so much more than just fencing. While the goal is to help more people discover the sport, you’ll gain far more than just fencing skills as a participant.
A unique way to enjoy fall!
There are few things that beat the feeling of learning something new and doing it in a big group.
Make lots of new friends!
Our events throughout the course make it easy to get to know each other and truly become part of the community.
Fun and enjoyable sessions!
Well-planned sessions that feel more like fun challenges than traditional training.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I have many commitments and can only attend on certain days, can I choose the days that suit me?
Absolutely! The course is designed to fit into a busy schedule. You can choose from over 5 sessions per week and only need to attend two to get everything you need. All time slots are locked until the opening ceremony so everyone has an equal chance to book sessions, whether you sign up early or later.
I’ll be away for one of the weeks during the course, what should I do?
It’s quite common to miss one week of the course. What we recommend is trying to attend a few extra sessions during the other weeks so you still get your total of eight sessions. You can message the coaches in the app to let them know, but otherwise it’s no problem at all.
What kind of people have joined, and will I fit in?
We’ve had all kinds of people join the course! Some train regularly and are looking for a new challenge, while others haven’t trained in a while and want to get started again. We also have participants of all ages, so yes, regardless of your level or age, you’ll fit right in.
What should I wear?
Nothing special! You can come in regular workout clothes to start with. We also provide fencing gear that you can borrow during the course, so you don’t need to buy anything beforehand. Just make sure to bring indoor athletic shoes and a pair of shorts to change into!
How safe is it?
Very safe! Fencing is a controlled sport and we use proper protective gear at all times. Safety is our top priority, and our coaches make sure everyone learns the techniques in a calm and structured way. Most people are surprised by how safe and comfortable it feels once they try it, there’s really nothing to be nervous about.
Is it okay to miss some of the events, or do you miss out on a lot of the course?
The events are mainly there to build community and make the course more enjoyable. While we recommend joining as many as possible, we understand that everyone has a life outside the course, and it’s completely fine to miss a few. The most important thing is that you attend the training sessions.
What happens after the course?
After completing First Step Fencing, you’ll have the option to continue fencing through a follow-up program, where coaches help you keep developing and take your skills to the next level.
Do I need to do anything else before the course starts?
No. Once you’ve completed payment and gained access to the app, you’re all set. We’ll see you at the opening ceremony on, Nov 7, or at one of the training sessions if you’re unable to attend that day.
