Fencing is a western martial art which challenges both physically and mentally. It is a modern sport with an ancient pedigree.
Fencing is one of the few sports which has featured in every modern Olympic Games.
Modern sports fencing uses three different weapons – foil, épée and sabre (also saber). Each has its own distinctive techniques and styles. It is suitable for all ages and both men and women can enjoy it.
Fencing is a discipline which requires concentration and quick thinking and helps to develop mental as well as physical dexterity. Fencing is about speed, concentration, strength, fitness and coordination and most importantly – mental strength.
During 2-hours training, we do various exercises to strengthen the above-mentioned qualities.

As a fencer, you are insured
SvFF’s sports insurance is arranged via Folksam and covers all members of LundsAFK. Participants in “try fencing” are also covered by the insurance. The insurance covers accidental damage that occurs during training, competition and camps (also abroad and during travel to/from the activity) arranged by SvFF or LundsAFK. However, the insurance is not comprehensive. Read more on Folksam’s website folksam.se (in Swedish) and on the Swedish Fencing Association’s website svenskfaktning.se (in Swedish).
Remember that when you travel within the EU, you need to have your European health insurance card with you. You can easily order it on the Social Insurance Agency’s website forsakringskassan.se
On the SvFF’s website it says, among other things: “Check that your private accident insurance is also valid abroad, that it entitles you to rehabilitation and that the disability compensation is high enough. It has also been shown that some insurance companies (e.g. Trygg-Hansa) can exclude accidents that occur during training or competition when the insured represents a sports association. Choose as a fencer a company that does not have this exception.”
LundsAFK partners with IKLINIK and Viklinik Vårdcentral in Lund and Malmö.
Our active fencers get a quick appointment for assessment and examination in Lund, Malmö or online.
