And develop important life skills such as discipline, focus, and sportsmanship.
Our Musketeers' Programme, designed for children ages 9 to teenagers, is the highlight of our youth fencing programme. Developed by our Head Coach, 2-time Olympian Ernie Simon, this programme offers a dynamic and engaging experience for young fencers. Through fun and interactive training sessions, our Musketeers learn the fundamentals of fencing while also developing their character and resilience.
For teenagers, adults, and children of all skill levels, we offer beginner courses that provide a comprehensive introduction to the sport. These courses are not only educational but also enjoyable, fostering a lifelong passion for sports. Our experienced coaches guide participants through the basics of fencing, helping them build a solid foundation for future growth and improvement.
At the Melbourne Fencing Centre, we pride ourselves on offering skills development and training for fencers of all ages, skill levels, and experiences.

We offer a range of training sessions, private lessons, and classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In addition, we regularly participate in competitions held on various Saturdays and Sundays.
