Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do I wear to a fencing class?

Wear a comfortable cotton t-shirt or sweatshirt, a long pants (thick sweat pants are ideal) and athletic shoes. The Denver Fencing Center does have bathrooms to make clothing changes.

2. If the online registration doesn't work?

Just give us a call at (303)922-7288 or drop by the club. We will email the forms or give you the forms to fill out, take your payment, and you will be all set for your fencing class.

3. What is refund policy?

Denver Fencing Center will give a refund prior to the start of the class, if you are unable to attend. Once a class session has started, you will receive credits for later session.

If we have to cancel a class, we will provide a refund for the classes cancelled.

4. What is your class make-up policy?

If you miss a class, we allow you to make it up by taking a similar class during the same class session. We offer over 25 different classes including the classes in Denver. So if you miss a class in week two of the session, you can take two classes in week three. We make it very easy to catch back up with your fencing.

5. What is the equipment rental fee and what does it cover?

The equipment rental fee covers all of the fencing gear that you use during your class: mask, underarm, jacket, glove, chest protector (women), lame, body cord and a foil, epee, or saber. We charge $30 for every session of four to six week set of classes if you do not have this equipment. If you have the non-electric fencing equipment: mask, jacket, glove, underarm, chest protector (women), then we will drop the fee to $15. Nearly all beginner will need to rent equipment, while experienced fencers usually have some sub-set of equipment.

6. What does it cost to get all of the equipment used in the class?

The equipment, depending on the weapon, will run from $250 to $500. We rent the equipment so people can try out the sport for a significant amount of time before outlaying the investment. We find that many parents appreciate the option of renting till their child is 100% vested in the sport.

7. Do you sell equipment? Is is cheaper through you or online?

Yes, we have a store at our Denver location that stocks most major fencing items. We can order and have the item with a week or two based upon shipping and vendor availability.

The cost of the equipment is about the same. We get a little of a volume discount, but we have to charge you local Sales Tax. So online ordering vs. DFC retail ends up being roughly the same price.
