Is yr son learning at Z fencing???


May be i shld just pop by and check out the prices at Z fencing.. My son's coach is sch from Master fencing..so cannot put my son at Z fencing.. I heard fencing has different type if they are from different fencing school.

Lastly, would you recommend that I get those china made stuff first since my son is in sec one and he may out grown stuff like fencing jacket and pants, electric jacket etc. :?:

Actually. I am wondering how reliable are those china made stuff...

There 3 types of weapons namely foil, epee and saber. Different coaches specialize in different weapons and the scoring differs.

My kids have been using China made stuff except for plastron because the china ones cannot be used for competitions. So far I think still Ok for them but I think the German ones looks better in terms of quality.

Hi VVJJ


Is she using a foil? What is the size and is she right or left handed? Does the set include the fencing bag?

Hi Jesschan,


She’s right handed… yes, using a foil… We can’t remember the size though. No, it doesn’t come with fencing bag.

Any idea what happened to the fencing team in RJC? It used to be the only team in Singapore. Almost eveyone in the national team in the 80s came from RJC. My brother was 1 of the first fencers in the national team. They won the first medal for Singapore the last time the SEA Games was held here, almost 20 years ago.

The China-made stuff are also put under safety tests; the cloth and masks have a safety-standard that they have to pass before they can be sold as fencing equipment, which is why in general, fencing equipment are expensive.

That said, my personal opinion is that non-China made equipment look better.

However, do check with the coaches about China-made equipment because Fencing Singapore rules do require certain parts to be of competition-level quality, and some China-made equipment comes in 2 differing qualities.

When in doubt, ask the coaches.

Also note that competitive fencers need to invest in at least 2 blades, in case one malfunctions during competition.
