Introducing USA Fencing Starter Kits: Everything a New Fencer Needs, All in One Place
by Bryan Wendell
In partnership with Absolute Fencing, we've taken the guesswork out of buying gear — so new fencers can focus on what matters most.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For many new fencers, the biggest barrier to entry isn't finding a great club (there are nearly 800 to choose from) or a great coach (we have thousands!). It's figuring out which equipment to buy.
Let's face it, fencing equipment, while an important reason why fencing is one of the safest sports out there, can be a little complicated and intimidating to a newbie.
Which mask do you need? Which jacket? And does any of it come in your size? For a parent sitting in front of their browser at 11 p.m., trying to equip a kid who just fell in love with the sport, it can feel like a lot.
That's exactly why we partnered with Absolute Fencing, the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of fencing equipment, to create official USA Fencing Starter Kits, now available at ShopUSAFencing.org. Whether your fencer is drawn to the finesse of foil, the strategy of epee, or the explosive action of saber, there's a kit designed for them.
What's in the Kits?
Each starter kit bundles the essential pieces a new fencer needs to step onto the strip and start training.
The kits cover all three weapons and are available for women and men. Each kit includes a fencing mask, glove, underarm protector, pants, jacket, fencing bag, chest guard and (of course) a weapon.
And because these are USA Fencing kits built in partnership with Absolute Fencing, you're getting gear that's been vetted by people who know fencing at the highest level.
