ADELAIDE SWORDS CLUB




ADELAIDE’S OLDEST FENCING CLUB. ESTABLISHED 1936


Adelaide Swords Club, founded in 1936, is one of South Australia’s oldest
sporting clubs. It has produced Olympians, World Championship medallists, State
and National Champions.

The club welcomes everyone of all abilities — from beginners and casual fencers
who like to keep their minds and bodies fit to athletes who compete at the
highest level. It holds training sessions on Monday and Wednesday nights from
6.30pm, beginner and intermediate classes for kids on Saturday mornings and
adult courses at various times during the year.

ARE YOU A FORMER FENCER LOOKING TO GET BACK ON THE PISTE?

Long-time fencers who stopped fencing for some reason, or relative beginners who
started and stopped, if you have fenced before we would like to help you get
back into the sport. Take a look around the website, find out about membership
and come in and see the club in action when we’re open on Mondays or Wednesday
nights.

Read more reasons to get back into fencing here.

The club on Tynte Street is a large, clean, bright, air-conditioned space in the
North Adelaide Primary School gym. It is close to North Adelaide’s busy cafe and
restaurant strips on O’Connell Street. Its central location with on-site
parking, proximity to public transport and major arterial roads make it a short
trip from anywhere in Adelaide.

The club has eight pistes and all the uniforms and weapons are available to use
at no extra cost for members making fencing an easy sport to take up at any age.

ABOUT THE MODERN SPORT OF FENCING

In modern fencing, athletes engage in fast-paced bouts using three distinct
swords: the epee, foil, and sabre. Each sword has its own unique rules and
challenges.

The epee focuses on precision, requiring fencers to touch their opponent
anywhere on the body with the tip of the sword. It’s a game of strategy and
timing. Foil fencing emphasises speed and accuracy, with fencers aiming to hit
specific areas of the torso with the tip of their sword. It’s a technical sport
that demands quick reflexes. Meanwhile, sabre fencing combines agility with
aggression.

Beyond skill, fencing also promotes fitness and agility, as fencers must
maintain speed and endurance while executing precise movements. Whether you’re
drawn to precision, speed, or athleticism, modern fencing offers an exhilarating
experience for all.

Our club is proud to be recognised as a STARCLUB.

We acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the traditional lands for the
Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their
country.

We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region
and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the
living Kaurna people today.

We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people
visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.
