Metro Blades Fencing Club

Located in downtown Toronto, Metro Blades is a primarily foil city club that offers training for intermediate and experienced foil fencers, providing an enjoyable, informal atmosphere that caters to both recreational and competitive foil fencers at all levels of development (for ages 13 & up). We also welcome epee and sabre fencers, but do not offer formal classes in those weapons (If you are interested in epee or sabre, try Toronto Fencing Club or Beaches Fencing Club respectively). We also provide occassional beginner classes to the general public from time to time when we have the resources available.

If you have any questions that are not answered by this website, please contact us. Spectators are always welcome!
