Tournament play is a critical part of our methodology for improving by Way of the Sword. Tournaments accelerate your learning and training and put you on track to compete at progressively higher levels from novice to NCAA.

Fencing is an individual sport that requires fencers and parents to do most of the "heavy lifting" with regards to planning, scheduling and attending tournaments.  WAY coaches are here to help but in the absence of you reaching out and asking for help we must assume that you are self-starting and attending events on your own. Historically, WAY coaches will attend regional and national level events provided at least 6 students will be in attendance and a small stipend for travel expenses is provided.

Below I have listed some suggestions for you to consider. Before you get started..do you know your USFA age classification to determine which events you qualify for by age and skill? Further, do you own or have access to a USFA regulation uniform and gear?
