The Club

The Brunswick Dragons Fencing Club provides training, equipment and facilities for fencers of all levels. We are a friendly community club and are always interested in welcoming new members.

We Welcome Beginners!
The Brunswick Dragons offer beginners courses for those interested in starting Fencing. All ages are catered for and the course is delivered by qualified Club Coaches. Part of the course fee covers the use of Club equipment (foil, mask, fencing jacket), your own fencing glove, affiliation to Fencing Victoria and full use of the fencing facilities. Beginners’ Courses are run four times a year at a cost of $160.

The last Beginners’ Course for 2008 will commence 6 October 2008.


Please book your course well in advance. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.


Experienced Fencers
Experienced fencers have the opportunity to join the club and take part in regular training in all 3 weapons. All weapons are fenced on a regular basis with a sizable number of senior and intermediate fencers at each training session. The facilities of the Fencing Factory are some of the best in the country. If your interested in joining please email us, give us a call or drop in on one of our training nights.

Returning to Fencing
Many people leave fencing for one reason or another. The Brunswick Fencing Club is a friendly club that will welcome you back into the sport, no matter what your previous level of experience. Fencing is a great way to maintain physical fitness and you never know how many old friends may be waiting for a bout. If you are interested in getting back into the sport email us, give us a call or drop in on one of our training nights.
