Start Fencing
Try Fencing
At the beginning of every term we have free tryouts for fencing for youth and adults at our club on Döbelnsgatan 60. Fencing material will be provided but you will to come with light soled shoes and long track pants. You can email your interest here: anmalan@fff-faktning.se We try to arrange it so that different age groups train with each other
More info on tryouts can be found here.
Beginners
You will learn the basics of fencing, how to hit and defend against opponents and develop your speed, coordination and fitness. For the course, you need long track pants and light-soled training shoes. We lend out other equipment in the first semester. Registration for the beginner’s course is binding. All registrations are confirmed via email. Beginner courses start in the second week of September and in January. The club has a system by which beginners progress to different groups with each term
Elite
We invest heavily in elite training for both juniors and seniors. At FFF, a number of the Swedish national team also train.
Fencing for Fun
This is the group for you who are over 16 years old and do not want to invest in fencing at an elite level. The group consists of fencers at many different levels. Everything from elite fencers who have lowered their ambition level to fencers who “just” think fencing is the most fun there is.
Veterans
FFF has an active veterans group. This includes older fencers keen to continue, partly active pensioners (b60+) who want to try out or take up fencing again. Information can be obtained through Ulf Lewin, ulf@lewin.nu,
