| Well even at her advanced age I think she can handle it. Plus you will have a fencing partner. When she takes you to a tournament she can fence also, instead of sitting reading a book or attending to your every need. She should have fun also. | | | Back to Top |

| Yes we can do that usually it is best to make a clinic out of it for a group of fencers. It's not hard to do but it takes some time. I accually like fixing weapons of them. I you want practice I will give you a dozen to fix. | | | Back to Top |

| | Yes. Tournaments require electric equipment. If you are 10 to 12 years old you will need a 0 or 2 blabe. You need a plasteron. You need knickers and a jacket. You need a minimum of two working weapons. You need two working body cords. You need a glove and mask. Equipment is checked to pass requirements for all fencers at the beginning of a tournament. I have a lot of gear to rent out. It is your responsibily to have working equipment. We will work with you to enable you to fix your own gear. |
