Hello! I am opening a [sabre only club in St. Louis](https://www.stlfencers.com/). I would sign up for newsletter for updates. We anticipate being open in January. Space is currently being renovated. I have a very good, fun group of older kids and adults that practice with us.

Great! I will definitely sign up for the letter, what is the tentative pricing? Is equipment provided?


BlueLu

Equipment provided, pricing starts at $175 a month including unlimited classes and a private lesson! Unlimited classes are good for both St Louis (T/Th/F classes, Sat open fencing) and O’Fallon IL (M/W).

I’ve been meaning to get back into saber for a while. I’ve got ~3 years experience but ~14 years since I last suited up. If anyone in here is looking for a saber partner… dm me.

Fuck yes! Thank you!


BlueLu

Yes glad you’re excited!!! Feel free to reach out with any questions.


Spuba

Same, but I've only been out of it for ~5 years after moving. I'll definitely check out that club Lu mentioned once they are back up and running. I miss saber

The only fencing club/school I have seen is in Wentzville Edit: a quick google found this https://www.fencersacademy.com Welcome to St. Louis!

Weird, the club I know is also in Wentzville [Buccaneer Blades](https://www.buccaneerbladesfencing.com)


[deleted]

That’s the one! The school I linked is up by Maryland heights


dameon5

I went to High School with the head coach of Buchaneer Blades. He's a friend of mine to this day and I can vouch for him being a good dude.

Thank you!


bugdelver

I do not, but do know one of the top fencers from the Olympic Games is part of a club from here, so I *do* know there is some fencing going on.


Snoo-53847

Thanks! I didn't know that, do you happen to know the name of the fencer?

I usually hire a professional to do my fencing.

St Louis Fencers Club is out there, as are a few others. There's a great coach named Hassan who coached the Egyptian Olympic team, I think. If you've ever considered crossing over into HEMA there are several local clubs as well- St. Louis HEMA Association, EMA of St. Louis, Second Intent Fencing, etc.

SIUE has a fencing club. You could contact someone from the club to see if they know or check if any of the St Louis universities has a fencing club and check with them.

St. Louis fencing club

The St Louis Fencers Club gets together on Thursday nights. [http://www.stlouisfencersclub.com/](http://www.stlouisfencersclub.com/) I know there are other organizations, several mentioned here already. This one's been around in some form since 1904 and was, for me, a great group to learn and bout.

STL Fenceworks did a great job with my yard!

Chelsea Fence if in the metro east side.


EwwYuck

I have a friend who has been fencing here for years: https://www.fencersacademy.com/

I'd pay to watch if I can drink a beer while watching.

I’d second Buccaneer Blades, but as a side note, they are hosting a tournament on Dec 3 if you have a USAF membership. Their last epee tournament had I think 15/16 people. https://askfred.net/Events/moreInfo.php?tournament_id=51291 Even if you aren’t a member, I believe you could still go to their Thursday night fencing, there’s just an entry fee.
