the Club
The Adelaide Swords Club is the largest fencing club in South Australia, with a strong membership base of over 50 fencers. In our community we are proud to have State Champions, State Team members, Australian champions, Australian Team members and Olympians. As a club we cater for everyone, from absolute beginners to those who want to take their fencing as far as they can.
The ASC has been around for many years, beginning its years under the name "Adelaide Amateur Fencing Club". We have been located in various halls, warehouses and venues around the city of Adelaide, but more recently we are located at the Hungarian Club Hall. We train three times a week and offer coaching and classes to children and adults, in all three weapons: foil, epee and sabre. We have Level 1, 2 and 3 coaches, allowing us to cater for all types of fencer.
the Sport
Sword fighting has existed for millenia. As a modern sport, fencing has its roots in the gentlemanly duels and military schools of the 18th and 19th centuries, and has featured as a safe and regulated event in every modern Olympic games. There are three disciplines (you could compare it to the different strokes in swimming): foil, epee and sabre. They have slightly different rules and practices, but the underlying idea is the same - strike your opponent before he (or she) strikes you!
