Step into Allez Fencing Club - our welcoming space in Watertown, MA where fencers of all levels connect, grow together, and support each other's journey on and off the strip!
Open fencing at Allez Fencing Club is a flexible, supervised practice session where épée fencers of all ages and levels can spar, experiment, and build confidence. Unlike structured fencing classes, open fencing lets you apply techniques in live bouts, try new strategies, and fence different opponents in a relaxed, supportive environment.
These sessions are ideal for improving timing, tactics, and mental focus—skills essential for competition. We offer separate open fencing times for youth fencers and for teens (13+) and adults, so everyone can enjoy the right mix of challenge and camaraderie.
Open fencing is included in all Allez Fencing Club memberships. Not a member? You can still drop in for a nominal floor fee or by purchasing an open fencing pack—perfect for visiting fencers or those with busy schedules.
Our on-site gym is purpose-built to support fencing performance. It’s equipped for footwork drills, strength and flexibility training, and agility work to enhance speed, endurance, and balance on the strip. Members can also join strength and conditioning sessions led by a certified trainer who understands the unique physical demands of épée fencing.
