Get your gear ready for competition in this hands-on armory workshop. We'll walk through everything you need to know to show up to a tournament confident your equipment will pass inspection and perform when it counts.
Open to all three weapons, though foil and épée fencers will find the most to dig into — foils and epees just have more that can go wrong.
Bring with you:
Your weapons and body cords
Tip screws and springs (if you have them)
Any tools you own — tip screwdriver, wire cutters, ohmmeter
Your questions
We'll cover how to diagnose and fix common issues with your weapons and cords, what to do before a tournament and how to navigate gear check, walk through gear care best practices, and talk through equipment recommendations to keep everything running between competitions. It will not cover rewiring a blade, those interested in rewiring can arrange it at a later time.
No experience required — whether you've never touched a screwdriver or just want a refresher before your next tournament, this class is for you.
