AFC 1 - D.H. McKenzie, Melbourne
Round 1 of the Australian Fencing Federation's national circuit
A small team of our fencers have just completed the first National tournament for the year, taking advantage of the event being held locally here in Melbourne. Run at the State Fencing Centre on Arden St, North Melbourne, the competition spanned 3 days and included men's and women's individual events in each weapon, including the Veterans age group events (40+).

Fioretto's U15 and Cadet team at the 2016 national championship achieved fantastic results in both foil and epee. William took the U15 foil champion title in a strong field including an impressive line up from Singapore. Peter was runner up, silver medallist, in the U15 epee showing great form in a strong field as well, and in his first tournament back from nearly 3 months off for injury. |
Fencing for Women
In a new initiative Fioretto's lady fencing coaches have begun a drive to establish a women's fencing group on Wednesdays during the day. The session is for mothers, professionals with part-time or irregular hours, and women who have retired from the workforce. It aims to provide a safe environment where women can feel comfortable exploring the art of fencing, learn new skills, challenge each other and keep fit in a fun and supportive environment.
