UTS Fencing Club:
UTS Fencing is one of the most successful and competitive fencing clubs in Oceania. It is the home to current and past Australian National Representatives, Commonwealth, National and State Champions and many more NSW representatives. All three Olympic fencing weapons (foil, epee and sabre) are practised at the club.
As a progressive club, we are always on the move to produce the next generation of champions. We encourage all our fencers, and particularly UTS students who have a passion for our sport, to fence and train with the club regardless of their age and level.
For those with no previous fencing experience, the club offers beginners’ and intermediate fencing classes at the start of each semester. Some of the finest Australian fencers were participants of the university’s Learn to fence program, and because fencing is fun, you don’t have to be a competition-level fencer to enjoy the sport.
There are social events throughout the year where you will also have the opportunity to meet and socialise with your fellow club members. In addition to this, UTS student fencers will have the opportunity to participate and represent the university in Australian Universities Games.
