(We do NOT want men to have chest protectors, as they lead to heavy handed fencing!)

Remember to ask for on-line discount and "Starter Set" discount.

Foil Two -

Electric foil with German tip and two prong socket

body cord to match

If you want to advance to a pistol grip, you must consult with the coach before doing so.

Knickers and underarm protector needed first night of class, electric gear needed by 5th week.

This equipment adds on to your existing gear, and also you to advance to the next level.

Epee -

Electric epee, with German tip.

Three prong body cord.

Hit Indicator box.

Consult with coach before choosing ANY pistol grip. No Belgian grips allowed (they can lead to serious nerve and tendon damage!).

You should also purchase your own spare parts and put together a tool kit at this point; see the coaches for details. There are seminars in repair every few months or so, and you need to attend one whenever you can. It's up to you and you alone to keep your gear in good repair!

For Competition -

You will need at least 2 weapons and body cords for each weapon you compete in, along with a tool set and spare parts to ensure your weapons will pass inspection by the director.
