Question 4

Is fencing safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With proper gear and coaching, fencing has one of the lower injury rates among youth sports. Masks, jackets and gloves are worn at all times and blades are blunted, and beginners drill technique long before they spar.

Question 5

What age groups do you teach?

Accepted Answer

We start from age 4. Our ladder runs from Little Fencers (ages 4-6) through Beginner, Intermediate One, Intermediate Two and Advanced. Youth fencers can join at any of these levels, and adults are welcome too - the Adult Recreational track is built for grown-ups with no previous experience.

Question 6

What weapons do you teach?

Accepted Answer

Foil and epee, with Intermediate and Advanced levels following the same structure for both weapons.

Question 7

Do I need experience to join?

Accepted Answer

No experience is needed. Little Fencers and Beginner Foil are built for complete beginners, and youth fencers can start from scratch at any age. Adults with no background in the sport are just as welcome in our Adult Recreational classes.

Question 8

How does training progress?

Accepted Answer

Every fencer starts with Group Class as the foundation. Sparring is added once they are ready, and Private Lessons can be layered in at any point for focused one-to-one coaching - earlier is generally better if you want to accelerate progress.

Yes. Blade KL competes actively at national and regional level, and our fencers are regularly chosen to represent Malaysia at top-level competitions, including the Asian Championships and the World Championships. Many members of our club also fence at SUKMA. Beginners are never pushed into competing - you enter your first event when you and your coach agree you are ready.
