Priori Epee Fencing Club

We at Priori Epee Fencing Club are closely following the events surrounding the COVID-19 virus unfolding in Alberta. With the combination of closures of all Alberta schools grades K-12 and City of Calgary has declared a state of local emergency, temporary closure of our training facility in the Respol Centre, our Board of Directors and coaching staff have decided effective immediately to temporarily postpone our group classes and lessons. We believe that is our responsibility to maintain a healthy and safe community, and to prevent the spread on Covid-19 in our communities. Thank you for your understanding and support during these extraordinary times. We will keep you updated on when will be able to reopen for our normal group classes and lessons. Stay happy and healthy friends.

Upcoming Alberta fencing events!

We take an in-depth look at fencing and the precise art of the sport and the epee...! #fencing #epee

Good information for beginner fencers.

We saw this first hand at the Milwaukee NAC. Great article. Our fencers were able to factor in this as a possibility to the equation. They arrived early to the venue, brought spare equipment and had someone to wait in line for them so they could focus on warming up.

Another good article from Academy of Fencing Masters...Reasons why fencing is good for kids.

Thanks Gina for posting this article. Yes, very handy indeed.

Being prepared not only means training hard mentally and physically but knowing that your equipment could let you down on tournament day. Having a fencing repair kit in your fencing bag and knowing how to use it is just as important.
