• The ACT Fencing Association Inc. (ACTFA) is the representative body for the sport of Fencing in the ACT.  We are affiliated with the Australian Fencing Federation (AFF) and through the AFF, the Federation Internationale d'Escrime (FIE).

  • ACTFA supports local fencing though providing equipment for clubs to hire, running state competitions, providing local rankings, training and accrediting officials, organising promotional events and media coverage and more.

  • Within the ACT and surrounding areas there are a number of ACTFA affiliated Fencing Clubs providing beginner, intermediate and advanced training and competitions.  Individual fencers are also affiliated with ACTFA, usually through their club membership or they may join ACTFA directly.  ACTFA affiliation permits local fencers to compete nationally and, with additional requirements, internationally through the AFF to the international fencing body, the FIE.

Attached below is a flyer for the 2018 ACT school competition. This year it will be held as a team competition, with a fencer in each weapon. Fencers enter as individuals and where there are not enough in one school to make a team, we will combine them for mixed school teams. Please share with all school-aged fencers. This is a friendly competition for young fencers to participate in and get to know how competitions work as well as meeting others in their age groups who enjoy the same sport.
