About
The McGill Fencing Club aims to provide current and prospective fencers an opportunity to learn and practice the sport of fencing and become a part of the tightly knit community of fencers at McGill.
Our club is beginner friendly. We offer classes with experienced instructors who are excited to pass on their knowledge, tailored to your level of experience.
To register, you do not need to be a McGill Student.
Our classes/practices take place at the McGill Sports Complex (McGill Athletics and Recreation) Activity Room G17 B and The Studio
This is a specialized practice studio with scoring machines, an arsenal and a team room where personal equipment can be stored. All equipment is provided as well as storage for those who already own equipment.
Note: There will be an additional fee of $20 for those who wish to use our storage room.
