Frequently Asked Questions
Which program do I choose?
If you already fence, choose that weapon! Otherwise, pick the day/time that fits best in your schedule. Most kids find that the sport speaks to them or not – which is why we offer a free trial – but if you’re the rare athlete who enjoys the club and culture at RTF but would prefer to fence a different weapon, we’ll help you figure it out.
How do I know if my child will like it?
You don’t, and neither do we. We offer a free trial class, so young athletes can try for themselves and see if they like it before signing up for a membership or purchasing equipment.
What about equipment?
We provide everything an athlete needs to start. Once an athlete decides they’re invested in the sport, we make it easy to size and purchase equipment directly from us.
What if we prefer a private introduction?
We get it – some athletes are intimidated by being “the only newbie” or want to feel competent before facing their peers. Contact darius@researchtrianglefencing.com, and we can set up an introductory training session.
We fenced at another club - can we join?
All are welcome to train at RTF, regardless of nationality, race, gender, school or club representation. Talk to our coaching staff to discover how we can best help you on your fencing journey!
