Events and Camps 2025
May the Fourth "Trainament"
On Sunday, May 4th, Badger Fencing Club is hosting a training tournament, or “trainament,” to give club members and parents a chance to experience competitive fencing in a comfortable environment.
Each step in the tournament will be explained in real time, and each of the two events will last approximately two hours. If you’ve been toying with the idea of competing, this is the perfect place to start.
Because this is a training tournament, electric gear is not required.
This is a great primer about attending your first tournament.
This event is free for Badger Fencing Club members.
Trainament events:
-
Mixed (meaning any gender) foil for ages 12 and under
-
Mixed foil for ages 13 and up
